Your Samsung Galaxy S9 will ask you to activate the so-called “Unknown sources” option of your Android device if you want to install apps from unknown sources or a third party app store like the Amazon App Store. You can’t skip this step since this is the only way you can install apps that haven’t come from the Google Play Store on your phone.
