How to download the Google Play Store!

To make a phone without GMS work, these four are the most important. They are google Play, Goole Map, Google account and Gmail, and Youtube. 

Whether to find alternatives or to install above, I do find that we can still make it work. Let's start with Google Play. 

Even though there are already lots of apps in AppGallery, but still you may want to install the Apps from Google Play Store instead. But how? 

1. Download Google Play Store
It’s a pretty self-explanatory step. The Google Play Store comes in APK format like any other Android app. You can download APKs from websites, tech blogs, and trusted people on forums or other places. However, for now, APKMirror is probably your best bet for trusted Google Play Store APKs. Here is a short tutorial for downloading the Play Store app:

Head to this link by clicking here.
Find the version of the Play Store you want. If you want a newer version, reference your current version and see if a new one is available.
Download the app by following the website’s instructions.

2. Deal with security permissions
The Unknown Sources setting has been a part of Android for ages. When disabled, it prevents users (and other apps) from installing applications from anywhere aside from the Google Play Store. Android Oreo changed this to a per-app permission rather than a system setting. Thus, there are two different parts to this one.

Before Android Oreo:

Enter your device settings.
Go to “Security”.
Find the Unknown Sources option and check the box. A warning will pop up which you should definitely read. Once done, hit “OK” and this will enable you to install APKs from Unknown Sources.
If Unknown Sources isn’t in the Security settings, try finding it in the Privacy settings or Application (Apps) settings.

After Android Oreo:

Begin installation with a file browser or through the web browser.
Android will tell you that the app doesn’t have permission to install APKs. Click the available Settings button in that prompt.
In the next menu, tick the box that lets that app install APKs.
Hit the back button to return to your installation.
It’s a little more complicated, but the trade off is better security because the only app that can install third party APKs is the one you just gave permission to as opposed to the system-wide setting in previous versions of Android.

3. Use a file manager and install the Google Play Store

Now that we’re all set to go it’s time to install this thing. Use your favorite file browser. For those who may not have one, you can see our recommendations here!

Open your file browser and navigate to wherever you downloaded the Google Play Store APK. If you downloaded it on your device then it will be on your SD card in the Downloads folder.
Once you find the APK, click on it. There may be a box that pops up depending on the apps you have installed on your device asking which app you want to use. If this is the case, click “Package Installer”.
On the next screen, read over any permission changes (there usually aren’t any) and then click install. When it’s finished, the latest Google Play Store will be installed on your device.
Hey you did it! Wait, there is still one more step!

4. Disable Unknown Sources
Leaving the Unknown Sources box checked is a major security hole that can cause problems down the road. The best way to keep yourself safe is to go back and turn that off! If you have Android Oreo or later, you are done and you can skip this step because these settings aren’t in your phone anymore.

Go back into your device settings.
Go back into the Security settings, Privacy settings, or Application settings (wherever you found it last time).
Uncheck the box. This will prevent everything (except the Play Store) from installing apps. You can always re-check the box later if you need to do this again.
There’s probably a reason they changed it in Android Oreo and this is probably it.
