Android Command line install APK

There are two ways to install APK on the Android emulator or on a real computer using the command line

One is using the adb install command, which is usually the way online

The other is the command provided via Android, PM install.

Need to go to Android command line first: adb shell

The corresponding PM command is then executed.
