I'm stupid, I don't know how to use anything that isn't an app on the play store.
Eta: thanks everyone, I'll get my SO to translate after work lol.
Also: fdroid exists. It's like a playstore just for open source stuff. You just download it from their website and install the .apk like you would use an .exe in windows.
I would get it from the official site: https://f-droid.org/
There are also other apps you can use to access the f-droid repositories. I personally use Neo Store instead of the f-droid client.
https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Store/releases/download/0.9.15/Neo-Store-release.apk
Install F-Droid from the official site (should be an APK - it's safe), and, from within F-Droid, you can install Neo Store. Then you can use Neo Store to access F-Droid stuff. Just make sure you stick to official/trusted repos, and you should be fine. I mainly use the Play Store for stuff, but sometimes the updates drop faster on F-Droid (or there's a handful of FOSS apps that aren't in the Play Store).
