## Description

"Package Installer" is a user-friendly Android app that enables the installation of package files directly through FTP or the Store without requiring a PC or USB connection after the initial setup steps. It simplifies the process by allowing users to manage package installations easily through their mobile devices, provided the Store app is open at the main menu.
