Sideloading an APK on Android means manually installing an app file without using the Google Play Store.

Follow these steps to sideload an APK:

  1. Enable App Installation from Unknown Sources
    Before sideloading, you need to grant permission to install apps from sources other than the Play Store:

  • Open Settings on your Android device.

  • Go to Security or Apps & Notifications (the exact location may vary by Android version).

  • Look for Install unknown apps or Unknown sources.

  • Select the app (like your browser or file manager) from which you’ll install the APK.

  • Toggle the switch to allow installations from that source.

  1. Download the APK File

  • Find a trusted source to download the APK file (e.g., the developer's website or a reputable app repository like APKMirror).

  • Download the APK to your device using a browser or transfer it from a computer.

  1. Install the APK

  • Open a File Manager app on your device.

  • Navigate to the folder where the APK file was saved (usually in the Downloads folder).

  • Tap on the APK file.

  • You’ll see a prompt asking for confirmation to install the app. Select Install.

  • Once the installation completes, you can open the app directly or find it in your app drawer.

  1. Verify App Security

  • To stay secure:

  • Only sideload APKs from trusted sources.

  • Scan the APK file with antivirus software if possible.

  1. Disable Unknown Sources (Optional)
    For added security, return to the settings and disable the ability to install apps from unknown sources.

Notes

  • Some apps may require additional permissions, such as accessibility or storage access.

  • Devices running Android 8.0 (Oreo) and later handle "unknown sources" permissions on a per-app basis, making it more secure.

  • Please ensure to uninstall the existing Smarter Suite application before downloading the APK file.

Always exercise caution when sideloading apps to avoid malware.


Users can then use their Smarter Suite details for login as usual, be it conventional (account, user login, and password provided by Chemwatch), SSO, or IP address login.
