Quick answer: On the device, open nomni-store.web.app, open the app (for example KDS Go), tap Install on the latest STABLE version, then tap Install on this device. Scan the code with a phone that is signed in to Nomni Store and tap Approve. The download starts on the device.
Nomni Store is where Nomni's Android apps are published: Nomni POS, Nomni KDS (listed as KDS Go) and Nomni Kiosk. You don't sign in on a shared device. Someone signed in on their own phone approves the install instead.
Before you start
Who: a manager or owner. The person who approves needs a Nomni Store account. They sign in with Continue with Google or Email me a sign-in link (no password). Use a work or Google email; throwaway inboxes can't download or approve.
Device: the Android POS, kiosk or KDS screen, connected to the internet, with a web browser.
Do this when it's quiet: finish or hold open orders before updating Nomni POS.

Install on the device
On the device, open the web browser and go to nomni-store.web.app.

Under Versions, find the newest version marked STABLE and tap Install on the Android row. You can also tap Install latest at the top.
Tap Install on this device. Don't tap Sign in instead on a shared device.
The screen shows Approve on your phone, a QR code and a short code (for example ABCD-2345). The code lasts 5 minutes.
What you should see: the QR code, the code and "Waiting for approval" with a countdown.
Approve it from your phone
Scan the QR code with your phone camera. Or, on your phone, go to nomni-store.web.app/link and type the code.
Sign in if asked, with Continue with Google or Email me a sign-in link.
Check the app, version and device match the one in front of you, then tap Approve.

Finish the install on the device
The download starts by itself. If it doesn't, tap Download now. The link works for 15 minutes.

The first time, Android asks you to allow installs from the browser. Turn on Install unknown apps for the browser (usually Settings > Apps > your browser).
Tap Install (or Update if the app is already there), then Open.

Helping a merchant over the phone
Ask the merchant to open the app in Nomni Store on the device, tap Install and then Install on this device.
Ask them to read out the code. Codes never contain 0, O, 1 or I.
On your own phone or laptop, open nomni-store.web.app/link, sign in, type the code and tap Continue.
Check the app, version and device, then tap Approve.
Only approve a code from a device in front of you, or from a merchant you are on a call with. Every install is recorded against the person who approved it. If anything looks wrong, tap Decline.
