I like the term sideloading. It describes an installation method we don't otherwise have a word for.
I'm loading a software package from the side -- from a system running parallel to the target system.
I do hate the use of the term to try to demonize a completely standard practice. Like when using wget to request files from a fileserver was described as hacking.
