You have to download it from a web page, unfortunately.

From what I can tell, you can't copy an install file over the USB. The Alex won't see it. Also, the Alex won't open email attachments (so you can't email the apk to yourself).

Or, you might want to go find a file manager app. It will see the apk files, and clicking on one should start the install process.
