I got a howto some time back &:
=====================================
Open or extract it and install the apks in this order:
-----------------------------------------------
account manager 4.0.3
framework 4.0.4
play services 7.3.29
playstore 4.3.10
youtube 10.16.53
============================
Had installed it on my Fire HDX 8.9,2014 when OS 5.x was released for the Fire. The files have been updated since then, I believe.

Also an important item is one of the files one has to select the correct dpi to use as there were different apk's where the dpi is the only thing different in the name; looks like in the cpu selection.
"com.google.android.gms_8.4.89_(2428711-036)-8489036_minAPI9(armeabi-v7a)(320dpi).apk" was what I selected for the Fire HDX; don't remember to what it corresponded in the above.

I've installed some Moon+Reader Pro & Calibre Companion; this means I have dup ebooks but I do have what is left of the 64 gig. Have also installed Manga Rock for reading mangas. For my use, I haven't encountered a non-installable app.
