ALLOWING YOUR ANDROID PHONE TO INSTALL APPS
Enable Unknown Sources
Before attempting a manual installation of apps using the .apk files, you must
first allow your phone to install from “Unknown Sources” (non-Market / non-
Google Play apps).
Allow application installs from “unknown sources”
Android 2.x: Go to Settings > Applications > select “Unknown sources“
Android 4.x: Go to Settings > Security > select ”Unknown sources“
Read the statement carefully
If you agree, click “OK”. Otherwise you are not giving permission to apps from out of
the market to be installed.
Now, Unknown sources is checked and you can proceed to the next step.

Install the Application
Next, go to your app drawer and click Downloads; here you will find the file you just downloaded
(DonationsDesk.apk) .
Open the file and install the app. Note that some mobile phones might start asking you directly to
install the app so you don’t need to go to the app drawer and click Downloads to search the file
there.
Click “Install”.
