If the installation of APKs from unknown sources is blocked by the admin, you have a device managed by a Mobile Device Management. The administrator has decided by policy that such apps are not allowed to be installed.

If it is a company-owned device, there is nothing you can do. If it is a bring-your-own-device device, you can unenroll it and continue to use it privately without company data.

 

However, the administrator has extremely good reasons to block this feature. Installation from unknown sources is one of the biggest security risks for users. You should be 100% sure that this application is trustworthy, as the damage caused by APKs with malware can be tremendous.
