1. Turn on Developer Options in Your Fire TV Stick

To get started, you need to authorize the applications that you’ll download to make this work. Follow these steps to turn on developer options.

2. 2. Select “Developer Options” to install files and apps from stores and locations outside the Amazon Fire Stick software.
   
3. 3. Click “Apps from Unknown Sources” and “ADB Debugging” to set them to “ON.”
   

You can now move forward and download the content needed to add the Google Play Store replacement known as Aptoide to your Fire Stick.
