If you cannot install Playlet from the store for some reason (for example, you cannot find it in the store in your country), you can sideload it as a dev app.
Please note that Roku only supports one sideloaded app at a time. If you have another sideloaded app installed, you need to make a choice between it and Playlet.
Another important thing to note is that sideloaded apps share the locally stored data and cache. If you install another sideloaded app after Playlet, it might be able to read your profile, your settings, or even your Invidious access token.
Open the address in your browser. Enter rokudev for the username, and enter the password that you chose when you enabled developer settings.
You should then see the Development Application Installer
Click Upload and choose playlet.zip that you downloaded from the previous step. Then click Install with zip.
Once installed, you should see a message indicating a successful install, and Playlet should launch automatically.
4. Updating Playlet
Playlet downloads most of its functionality from playlet-lib on startup using Github. So there's no need to do frequent updates. But it's a good idea to update it every once in a while, since dev channels do not get updated automatically.
