It literally takes about 5 minutes to complete from start to finish, and it can be accomplished directly from a stock Fire tablet without having to install anything else first. You don’t need to use a computer or root the tablet first; all you have to do is install 4 Google apps. Anyone can do it, and if you decide later that you don’t want Google Play on your tablet you can do a factory reset to wipe everything clean and make the tablet like it was when you first got it.
This is the same exact process as earlier models and will work on any running Fire OS 5.x and up. To check your tablet’s OS version go to Settings Device Options System Updates. The new Fire tablets are running 5.4.0.0 and are confirmed to work with the below method.
How to Install Google Play on Fire Tablets. Step #1: Prepare Your Fire Tablet Go to Settings Security Enable Apps from Unknown Sources (this will prompt a warning message—that’s normal). Step #2: Download Google Apps Now it’s time to download 4 separate apk app files. The easiest way is to use the Fire tablet’s silk web browser. Just make sure to install them in the order they are listed below. It’s easiest to install the apps one at a time as they download.
Just tap the download notification to prompt install. If you miss the notification, swipe left from the browser’s screen to open the menu and select downloads. These apps must be installed in the following order: 1. Update: If you’re having problems with the install button being grayed out and rebooting doesn’t fix the problem, try this fix: When you encounter the grayed out install button, try pressing the power button to put the device to sleep, then power it back on and unlock the screen, and now the install button should work. Step #3: Restart and Sign-in After installing the Google apps above you need to shutdown and restart your Fire tablet before using the Play Store app.
After restarting, simply launch the Google Play app and sign-in to your Google account. Update – Step #4: Once you have the Google Play store up and running, it’s a good idea to go into settings and turn off auto updates for apps because they can mess up the pre-installed Amazon apps and cause problems. See here for more about how to.
I had the same issue with the Kindle reader app but its an easy fix. The problem is that the newer version of the Kindle Reader on the google play store is designed for newer Android operating systems, but the Kindle Fire tablet is still essentially using an earlier version of android (5.x). So, when you add the Google Play Store to your Fire tablet, don’t accept the update to the Kindle reader (it gives you a few seconds to stop or decline). If you already updated the Kindle reader and now it doesn’t work, its very simple to uninstall and revert to the one that came with your Fire tablet: To fix this, just go to the Google Play store on your kindle, search for Amazon Kindle app and tap it in the store for details.
It will show an “uninstall” button. Tap it to uninstall the new version of the book reader, and the button will change to “install” and an “open” button next to it. You have now removed the newer version and reverted to the original version that came with your Kindle Fire. You can tap “open” or just close the browser and use the home page icon (DO NOT tap the “install” button 😀). Hi there, I followed these instructions and similar ones I found on YouTube.

Everything installed and I’ve been able to download and run apps from the Google Play store on my new Kindle Fire 8 HD. The only problem I’m having is, I installed an old version of Google Play after I read that Google Play will auto-update itself to the latest version. My version of Google Play, however, hasn’t auto-updated and I can’t find a way to manually force it to update. I did turn off “install unknown apps” after I installed the APKs. Does this need to remain on for the auto-update to work? Or am I missing something else? Hi, I’m having the same problem a lot of others are having but nothing is working for me.
I have a fire 8, 7th gen, running OS 5.4.0.1. I followed all steps above, and was able to successfully install the most currently updated version of Google play. I also powered my tablet on and off a dozen times, yet I still get the ”download pending” thing then i try to install any app. I also tried clearing data and cache from the app, nothing. I’ll keep searching for answers but if anyone can suggest anything I’d really appreciate it. New 2016 (6th gen) HD8 running 5.4.0.1 ($47 delivered from Amazon Warehouse deals they listed it as Used-very Good, but both were obviously new). No problems with install at all.
Also immediately installed Microsoft Launcher, and rarely even see the Amazon home page lol. I had the same issues with Gmail others reported. But after a couple of days, it just started working. It exhibited the same symptoms with my wife’s HD8 so whatever the glitch is, it seems to work itself out after 2-3 days. Thanks for the excellent instructions and all the comments/suggestions.
Hey there- Tried the method, and it works! Any chance you’d care to update the files to the most recent version? I’m trying to play Myst on the Amazon fire. I used apktofire to just send Myst to the fire. But Myst requires the google play store to work. So I used your method because of the additional support files (that’s why I couldn’t use AtF for the play store).
But now Myst is telling me that it needs a newer version of the play store. I can’t update through the play store, because play store says it’s not compatible with my device. Understandable, I suppose, but super annoying. So- I’m hoping maybe updated files will solve the problem? But because there are four files, I’m not sure which versions of files go together.
(It’s FireOS 6.0.0.1 I think) Thanks! I followed these instructions for the new Kindle Fire 10 HD I bought last month. I had no trouble loading the play store and loading google apps. However I noticed that whenever I used one of the google apps, all the kindle books on my device were gone. I would then go into the cloud and re-download my books.
Then when I used a google app, the books were gone again. I did 3 factory resets and attempted all this again, but still encountered the problem of my books disappearing when I used google apps. On the last reset, I left google play and google apps off my device and now my kindle is stable. If anyone reading this can tell me why my books kept disappearing, I would love to know so that I can put google play back on my device. Instead of locking/unlocking the screen, try scrolling down to the bottom of the install window so “Next” turns to “Install”, then tap the Recents button (the square one) to show the windows of recent apps, then tap the same button again to bring the install window back. The Install button may now be yellow/enabled.
I had to do this about 10 times with reboots in between before it worked. Also, while the install window is open also try going back into Settings and turn off / back on the Allow from Unknown Sources option, then going back to the install window using the Recents button. Note: this seems to be more of an issue with FireOS 5.6.0 vs earlier versions (it can be done, it’s just more of a pain and requires lot of attempts). FINALLY GOT IT. This is so hard to explain, it’s a combination of what J Nelson said.
1st you have to download the correct version (see video above)with silk browser using apk site. Then once it’s downloaded (check for it in your storage (local) then open ES file mgr and click on it, and do the box twice thing J Nelson talks about,and the install button should light and allow you to install. If you download the wrong version, you will get a parsing error so go back keep track of version, newest isn’t always the best here. I will add another window showing the version #s I used. Long frustrating time involved, but maybe this will help. More tips: Try to only download from rawapk.com site- if you wind up on some other site(ie bing) it may not work. I said local storage above, I meant internal storage on kindle under settings menu and sub section silk.
The new Chuck and Fixture Definition feature provides the ability to use chucks and fixtures designed using SOLIDWORKS parts and assemblies or STL files for toolpath simulation and collision detection in Mill-Turn and Turning. The upcoming addition of 3D Interconnect in SOLIDWORKS and CAMWorks Solids provides a continuous path of associativity from 3D model changes in all leading 3D CAD formats through automatic updating of toolpaths that dramatically speeds up re-programming as parts change.

You need to download ES file manager from Amazon app store and install-it’s free. Find the downloaded app under downloads in ES file mgr click on it and do the square button thing twice and it should install. If there’s anything I didn’t describe so it can be understood, I apologize, write a question on here and maybe I will find a way to explain better. This is definitely not for the faint at heart. I am only a tech with no ties to the kindle or software. Just something I figured out for myself, with the help of others.
Remember this all began as how to install in under 5 minutes.Having a cold one now! Wife’s xmas present is complete. These instructions worked on my 5th Gen 7″ Kindle Fire, Fire OS:5.6.0.0, last updated Dec 16, 2017. Used the links above to download & install each of the 4 files (1 at a time) with a soft restart after installing each time and had hard shutdown after all installed and then started the GPstore app from the Kindle homescreen and was able to register to my existing GP user account. And if it helps I used the Silk browser to search for the 4 required files:1)Google Account Manager 5.1-1743759. 2) Google Services Framework 5.1-1743759.
3) Google Play services 10.2.98 (260). 4) Google Play Store 7.4.25.L-all 0 PR 145823605 (240-480dpi) (Android 4.0+). And all these should be found at: Now I’m off to see if this will also work on my brand new Fire HD 8 7thGen which is also running FireOS: 5.6.0.0, updated Dec 16, 2017. Kade & Mark: I’m very sorry to hear about your issues after installing GPS. For me, this all started when I couldn’t install GPS and I went through a lot of problems before I got mine to work. I suggest keeping an eye on this site, others have chimed in and it was their help that got me past the install issues.
I have had Mark’s issue, but not Kade’s so I have little help at this time. Kade: Check your “settings” to see where your downloads are to be installed. Mark: Try downloading something else (something you don’t want, to see if it’s the program you are downloading that is the fault.
I have run into several programs (apps) that just don’t work, especially on Amazon store. Glad to hear at least you both were successful in getting GPS installed- keep working on it. Mannie: Another thing causing “download pending” problems is trying to DL an app that is “not for kindle” or an app that just doesn’t work. I have had that problem with my wife trying to DL Fox Sports from Amazon. Even Amazon support couldn’t get it to work and they turned it in to the original software writer to fix.
I was able to DL it from GPS. BE SURE the app you are trying to DL says “FOR KINDLE” in it’s description.
When having these types of issues always try downloading something else (you don’t want) to see if it’s the app or the kindle at fault.
