Open the Settings application on your device.
Tap on Apps & notifications.
Now tap on the 3-dots icon located at the top right of the screen.
Select Special access.
Tap on install unknown apps.
From here you will be able to enable the permission for individual apps to install unknown APK files.

That's fair. I wasn't in front of my box at that moment, so I used the steps from my phone. It's running a newer version of Android, but I figured it was the same. My mistake.

I reckoned you were flying blind! :ROFLMAO:

Still, I had to hunt for this! :unsure:
Usually when an app needs access it prompts for it, so I haven't actually been to this part of the Settings.
 
How are you installing the 3rd party APKs? A file manager, Aptoide, Chrome Browser, etc...?

You need to enable the permission for individual app(s) that you want to allow to install other APKs.

Ex. If you're downloading APKs from the Chrome Browser, you would follow the steps posted by Villa and enable the Chrome browser. Once done, after you download a new APK, you will be presented with the option to install the APK.
