First, click on Next and then choose Install.
The installation will take some time to finish.
Once done, you will see the final screen with two options – Done and Open.
Depending on whether you want to launch it now or later, you can choose either option.
Note: You can delete the Downloader app after this. You won’t be needing it any longer and it will just take up a significant amount of space on your Firestick.
