Step 3. The progress bar at the top of iTunes will notice you the syncing process is ongoing. When the syncing is finished, the apps will be installed on your iTunes.

For the apps you have downloaded from the Internet, it is not hard to sync with iTunes as well. Here goes the guidance:

Step 1. Open iTunes, click “File > Add File to Library/Add Folder to Library”.
