You have to make sure you have allow installation of third party apps or allow an app to install software. In this case it would be the third party option. Simply head to settings => security. Then just allow the installation!

If you do not have enough memory on your device, it may cause this problem. If not, take the device to a computer store, which could shed some light on the situation for you.
