For older versions of Android: The instructions for “Side Loading” apps vary greatly depending on the version of Android that your device is running

However, on older devices installing non market apps was typically done by: Settings -> Secuirty -> Non Market Apps ON Settings -> Security -> Untrusted Sources ON [Wording used by Google] Settings -> Applications -> Unknown Sources ON
