What you ask for is called "sideloading".

There's a few more steps:
3) Add the following MIME type to your web server(s):
application/vnd.android.package-archive
to go with the .apk file type
4 a) If your users are in a BYOD situation: Have an answer for users
who bought devices from a carrier/vendor that doesn't support
sideloading. For example, send them back to the carrier/vendor to have
it enabled, which of course doesn't happen. What ever you do, don't
make it your problem.
4 b) If you get to decide which devices are purchased, make sure your
vendor(s)/service provider(s) support sideloading. Have multiple
vendors lined up in case one has a change of heart so you can switch
quickly.
