Can you install an Android app from a pc?

Well, it may seen crazy but what I meant is that whether one could extract apk files and put them in ready to use form on an SD card, so that you could put it in an Android device and use it without installing apk file.
Please help... There is another reason for it...

Welcome to the forums. You should be able to do this via ADB commands. I'm not sure what the commands are exactly, though.

It would great if you explain what ADB commands are...

ADB is short for Android Debug Bridge. You can use Command Line Interface (CLI) commands to push or pull files and even install apk files.

Here is the list with syntax: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb.html#commandsummary

Some Android phone have drivers that allow them to be read directly by your computer and then files can be loaded as it the phone was a flash drive, OR via the phone's own software, such as LG Bridge for example or Samsung Kies. (Those programs MIGHT just put a pretty face on ADB though, I'm not sure)
