Download the Driver Station APK file to a computer, transfer it to the DS phone's Downloads folder, then open that file to install the DS app. This process is called "side-loading". **Important Note:** If you update the Driver Station (DS) app, you should also update the Robot Controller (RC) app to the same version number. That process is different for Android Studio teams; updating RC phones is described [here](https://github.com/FIRST-Tech-Challenge/FtcRobotController/wiki/Managing-a-Smartphone-Robot-Controller#updating-the-robot-controller-app).
