Enabling this function is a piece of cake—simply go to Settings -> Security.
Just check Unknown sources and you're all set.

A wonderful tip. You have no idea how many manuals I have gone through to resolve my problem and here is the answer in a few words.
I did the same the on my phone but every time I use Facebook or snapchat on my phone, it always says I need to enable unknown sources on my phone so I do, then it makes install this thing called system, so I do, then it makes install system again, and again. If anyone knows how to get this to go away please let me know
