Using the Android SDK
The easiest way to install an app to your Andriod phone is through Market Place. However, there is one more method that can be used, you can install APK files into your phone using the Android SDK. Download the Android SDK. You can get it here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
First of all, install the Android SDK on your computer. You will also need to install the Android USB drivers
To install applications from other sources, you also need go to Settings -> Application Settings and enable Unknown Sources. Also go to Settings -> SD Card and Phone Storage -> Disable Use for USB Storage. You can enable it again later.
Next, just open Command Prompt and type: adb install path/file.apk
where path is the full path to the APK file and file is the name of the APK application file. Your application is now installed. This is all you need to do, now just open the application on your phone and use it.

or you could just download astro file manager and use that to install apk's.
