Pressuming you have the android sdk installed:
Put your phone into developer mode plug it into the computer, and enable adb
Open command prompt and navigate to the adb folder inside the sdk
adb devices
after this type:
adb install apkname.apk
or the other way enable allow installs from unkown sources put the apk on your phone navigate to it and then open it and install it that way but the first option is easy enough to make an install script for when you update it.
Hope this helps
