How to Install the Bottler App on
Android
Download the APK from either a PC or Device to get started
Installation Prep
Depending on your version of Android there may or may not be a little set up required prior to attempting to install an app from sources other than the Google Play Store.
Step One
Swipe down from top of screen to
open the Notifications tray.
Click the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen.
Alternatively, open the applications menu and search for Settings to open the Settings App.
Step Two
Click Lock screen and security
Step Three
Ensure Unknown Sources is turned on/checked
For Android 8.0 (a.k.a. Oreo)
Oreo does things a little differently. Rather than check a global setting to allow installation from unknown sources, you’ll be prompted to allow your browser or file manager to install APKs the first time you attempt to do so.
This just means that instead of manually turning this feature on, Android asks you if you want to turn it on when you attempt to use it.
Other Devices
Obviously not all devices were created with the same interface. There may be slight variations of this process, depending on your device. One example of this differentiation is for an Amazon Kindle.
Install From Device
Step One
Click the Download APK button at the top of this page to download the Bottler app to your device
Step Two
Once downloaded, open either the default My Files/Files app or your preferred File Manager app
(i.e. ES File Explorer).
Depending on your browser, you may have the option to open the file upon successful download, without having to navigate to it via a File Manager. This will appear in the form of a popup asking you whether to open the Folder or File.
If that’s the case, click Open File and skip to Step Four.
Step Three
Using your preferred File Manager app, navigate to your Downloads folder.
Depending on the app you use, your most recent downloads may be featured upon opening the app.
The default app should have an Installation Files category for quick navigation (see Step Two screenshot).
Once you’ve accessed your downloads folder, click on the APK file for the Bottler App.
Step Four
You’ll be asked what app you want to use to open the APK file. Choose Package Installer.
Step Five
Depending on your device and the version of Android you’re running, you’ll get a series of popups.
The typical popup will list the permissions the app requires and whether or not you still wish to install.
Click Install to continue with the installation.
Step Six
You should be notified upon successful install.
Open the app to ensure that it installed correctly and functions properly.
