The individuals may not know how if their device doesn't directly support
it, but that doesn't stop it from happening.... All you need is someone
who knows how (and if there are multiple locations, someone at each
location). That, or you just put out some really good instructions.
Here's how:
1) Connect the device to a computer (with the SDK installed. I can't
remember off-hand whether USB Debugging has to be enabled or not, but
you might need to try one way or the other.
2) From the PC (command line), run the following (assuming adb is in your
path---if not, either add it or use the full path to adb, e.g, for my
laptop, c:/android/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb):
$ adb install -r app.apk
And that should do it. Back when I needed to do this, before Motorola
finally released an "app" of sorts that sets the phone to allow 3rd party
apps, I set up an alias in zsh:
alias adbinstall='c:/android/android-sdk/platform-toos/adb install -r'
So all I had to do was: $ adbinstall foo.apk
