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

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.
