To download and play Pokémon GO on Android, you’ll have to download it from the play store. That’s basically all there is to it. The link to the game itself can be found here. Another method of installing the game is to go to the Pokémon GO section of the Pokémon website. There you’ll find a direct link to the game which you’ll then be able to download through the Google Play Store.

Downloading Pokémon GO for iOS works mostly similar to the Android method. Go to the Apple App Store and navigate to the Pokémon GO page. There you’ll find the app which you can install by pressing the download button.
Other things you should know
First and foremost, make sure your phone is able to run the app so you don’t face any surprises when installing. Niantic, the developer behind the game, recommends quite a powerful device and relatively strong internet access, so make sure you’ve got all of that in place before trying to play. You can read up on everything you need to know about the game and its requirements here.
