Sideload on Chromecast without installing sketchy apps? (lemm.ee)

Does anyone know a way to sideload apps on the Chromecast without installing some sketchy "file uploader HD" app?

All the guides I can find online recommend installing some random file transfer app.

Can't get termux or f-droid, nor Firefox, chrome or even apkpure

You can just do it wirelessly, just like you would with any other phone

Are you talking about the same device? Op is talking about a Chromecast, not an android TV.

The last non-AndroidTV Chromecast model was discontinued over 3 years ago. Seems reasonable to assume AndroidTV model, if OP doesn't specify, at this point

Yes I was, that's how I did it initially on my Chromecast with Google TV. No wires involved, just adb.
