1. Using Bluestack - Installing Bluestacks to your PC enables you to run and download Android apps on your computer system. It supports all Windows and Mac OS.

2. Using Android SDk - Downloading and installing SDK to your system provides an atmosphere for you to run Android apps on your PC. Though Android SDK was mainly built for Developers for testing and experimenting developed apps. The first option is more preferable because it runs smoothly with no lagging, but using SDK requires PC with high specs for optimum performance.
