在您的Android 智能手机或平板电脑(Android smartphone or tablet)上安装应用程序的最简单方法是打开Play 商店(Play Store)，搜索您想要的应用程序并点击安装(Install)。如果我们告诉您还有另一种从Google Play 商店(Google Play Store)安装应用程序的方法，该怎么办？无需触摸设备即可使用的一种？我们将在本教程中向您展示如何使用Play 商店(Play Store)网站在几乎任何网络浏览器中安装应用程序：
1.在浏览器中打开Play 商店(Play Store)
您要做的第一件事是加载Google Play 商店(Google Play Store)网站。在计算机上打开您最喜欢的网络浏览器(web browser)，然后访问play.google.com。如果您登录到Gmail等Google 服务(Google service)，您的Google 身份(Google identity)会显示在右上角，您可以跳到教程的下一部分。如果您没有登录，您会看到一个登录(Sign in)按钮，您必须做的第一件事就是使用您的Google 帐户(Google account)登录。按登录(Sign in)按钮。
您选择登录的Google 帐户(Google account)必须设置为您要安装应用程序的Android 设备。(Android device)否则，该过程将不起作用。如果您需要帮助，请阅读如何在Android 设备(Android device)上设置Google 帐户(Google account)。输入您的凭据以登录。
登录后，屏幕右上角会显示您的Google 帐户(Google account)图片。
2.找到你要安装的应用
在本教程中，我们以安装Waze 应用程序(Waze app)为例。找到屏幕顶部中心的搜索输入字段，然后输入您要安装的应用程序的名称。(Search)
按键盘上的Enter （或点击(Enter)搜索框(search box)右侧的蓝色放大镜按钮(glass button)）。然后，在搜索结果列表中单击或点击(click or tap)要安装的应用程序。
流行的应用程序往往出现在第一个搜索结果中。您可能需要按查看更多(See more)按钮来查找您的应用或优化搜索文本(search text)以获得更准确的结果。
单击或点击要安装的应用程序后，Play 商店(Play Store)网站会显示应用程序页面。
如果您想验证描述、查看应用评分或查看用户评论(user reviews)，请向下滚动页面以查找所有这些信息。
3. 使用Play 商店网站安装应用程序(Play Store website)
要安装应用程序，请单击或点击页面顶部的安装按钮。(Install)
系统可能会要求您验证您的Google 帐户(Google account)身份。这样做是为了能够进入下一步。如果您在多台Android设备上设置了相同的Google 帐户(Google account)，则可以在下拉列表中选择要在哪个设备上安装该应用程序。您还会看到一个列表，其中包含应用程序运行所需的权限。从下拉列表中选择设备，然后单击或点击(click or tap)安装(Install)。
将出现一个弹出对话框(popup dialog)，通知您该应用程序即将安装在您的设备上。
该术语故意含糊不清，因为安装取决于您的设备与互联网的连接，以及它执行其他任务的繁忙程度。例如，如果设备已关闭，则在您再次打开设备后进行安装。
按下OK按钮后，您将返回到应用程序页面。这一次，页面顶部的按钮显示Installed，确认您的操作。对于未来的安装，在同一设备或其他设备(device or others)上，按Installed按钮，Play Store的行为与您按Install时相同。
您现在可以转到您的设备并检查该应用程序是否已成功安装。您无需执行任何其他操作即可进行安装。
您喜欢从Web 浏览器安装(web browser)Android 应用程序(Android apps)吗？
有时您会在计算机上浏览互联网时发现新应用程序。与其切换到手机或平板电脑(phone or tablet)，不如使用浏览器立即安装应用程序更容易。也许您已经离开您的设备充电，并且您不想中断它（您拿起电话并进入您的电子邮件或社交媒体供稿并且忘记将其重新充电的次数）。无论您出于何种原因，都可以选择直接从Web 浏览器(web browser)安装应用程序。最重要的是，在您的手机上安装应用程序甚至无需触摸它，非常简洁。在下面的评论中告诉我们您的看法。
3 steps to install Google Play apps from a web browser
The eаsieѕt way to install an app on your Android smartphone or tablet is to open the Play Store, search for the app you want and tap Install. What if we told you there's another way of installing an app from the Google Play Store? One that you can use without touching your device? We show you in this tutorial how to install apps using the Play Store website, in just about any web browser:
1. Open the Play Store in your browser
The first thing you do is to load the Google Play Store website. Open your favorite web browser on a computer and go to play.google.com. If you are logged in to a Google service like Gmail, your Google identity shows up in the top-right corner, and you can skip to the next section of the tutorial. If you are not logged in, you get a Sign in button, and the first thing you must do is to log in with your Google account. Press the Sign in button.
The Google account you choose to sign in has to be set up the Android device where you want to install apps. Otherwise, the procedure does not work. If you need help, read How to set up a Google account on an Android device. Enter your credentials to sign in.
Once you are signed in, the top-right corner of the screen shows your Google account picture.
2. Find the app you want to install
For this tutorial, we install as an example the Waze app. Locate the Search input field at the top-center of the screen and type the name of the app you want to install.
Press Enter on the keyboard (or tap the blue magnifying glass button to the right of the search box). Then, click or tap on the app that you want to install, in the list of search results.
The popular apps tend to appear in the first search results. You may need to press the See more button to find your app or refine your search text for more accurate results.
Once you click or tap on the app that you want to install, Play Store site displays the app page.
If you want to verify the description, see the rating of the app, or check the user reviews, scroll down the page to find all this information.
3. Install the app using the Play Store website
To install the app, click or tap the Install button at the top of the page.
You may be asked to verify your Google account identity. Do so to be able to move to the next step. If you have the same Google account set up on multiple Android devices, you can choose in a drop-down list on which device you want to install the app. You also see a list with the permissions the app requires for it to run. Choose the device from the drop-down list, and click or tap Install.
A popup dialog appears, informing you that the app is going to be installed on your device soon.
The term is intentionally vague because the installation depends on the connection of your device to the internet, and how busy it is doing other tasks. If the device is turned off, for example, the installation takes place after you turn it on again.
Once you press the OK button, you are returned to the app page. This time, the button at the top of the page says Installed, confirming your action. For future installations, on the same device or others, press the Installed button, and the Play Store behaves the same as when you pressed Install.
You can now go to your device and check that the app has been successfully installed. You do not need to take any other action for the installation to happen.
How do you like installing Android apps from a web browser?
There are moments when you find out about a new app while browsing the internet on your computer. Rather than switching to your phone or tablet, it is easier to install the app right away using your browser. Maybe you have left your device to charge, and you do not want to interrupt it (how many times you pick up the phone and get into your emails or social media feeds and forget to put it back to charge). Whatever your reason, it is good to have the option of installing apps directly from a web browser. On top of that, installing apps on your phone without even touching it, is pretty neat.
