use a file manager to open/install them
try es file manager or root browser both are available at akp mirror

download the apps, when complete you can tap on the notification, you will have an option to install
be sure to allow unknown sources in settings before downloading apps

Edit: stay away from ES File Manager, it was sold, and new owners have packed it full of junkware
there are several other great file managers

Are those the prerequisites for Google play store? i have android system in my car multimedia. it does not have the google play store in it, and when i tried to install it (only google play store) it won't lunch and crash..
so i understand it needs all the 3 apk's in addition..
the version of android i have in my car is 4.4.2 - will the above apk version fit? or do i need different version?

Off topic question (does not pertain to device) - you'll need to ask your question elsewhere. And yes, different versions are needed depending on device type, capabilities and Android build.

I had to install latest Play Store version to get it all running on our Kindle Fire (think it's 5th gen). Version recommended above just went back to home screen.

Is there any way to get multiple Google accounts working using this method? I have a couple accounts that I need to have on devices for various reasons.

Excellent work!

Gmail app allows adding multiple accounts, then they will be accessable by other apps

ios is Apple...
FireOS yes you can update, Google framework will remain
root after updating, unlikely, at least right away

Thank you. Google Play Services on my Kindle Fire crashed and wouldn't allow me to access any Google Apps including Chrome, Gmail etc.. The message indicated that the apps wouldn't work unless an updated version of Google Play Services was installed and it seemed like the update wouldn't go through. I reset my Kindle to factory settings and followed your instructions and it seems great so far...not asking for a Google Play Services update. Thank you again Gilly10.

Hi, so you can update FireOS. But what about the google framework? Does it get updated automatically? Or if a new versione will be released, do you need to unistall the 4 apk first, and than install a newer version of the 4 apk?

Seems this method is no longer functioning. Applications are not searchable - only the webview application comes up on search results. When I search for my previously downloaded applications, they come up, but state that the administrator has not given me permission to install this item.

Furthermore it is the Google Play store for Work?

Any thoughts? This is happening on 3x Kindle Fire HD 8 devices, all of which worked previously. Running 5.3.1.1.

Wrong forum; post questions about HD8/10 devices here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10

Worked great on 6th gen 5.3.2.

Thanks!

I keep getting a Parsing error when I try to install the first .apk file. Kindle Fire HD 8.9

I have Kindle fire 8.9. I've downloaded the apps but every time I try installing the first one, "Account manage" I get a "parse error." Do I need different files for my device or am I just doing something wrong?

parsing errors occur for a few different reasons
possibly one of these, but not limited to

app is not compatible with the os version
not much you can do about that other than try an older version of the app

there is a problem with the package installer
try wiping installer app data

some kind of caching error, or another app causing install failure
try a factory reset and/or flash firmware with adb sideload in recovery
