How do I install VLC on my Moto E6 Play from an APK? [View all]

Yes, I know it's old. I don't keep this phone on the internet and I don't log in to use app stores. It's running stock Android 9, I think.

What I want to do, is install VLC from an APK. I've done a google search for VLC and "Moto e6 play", but I can't install it. I wind up with VLC2-2.0.6.apk. I've copied that to the SD card, given the phone permission to install unknown apps, but at the end of the installation is "App failed to install" without any error codes or specifics.

I can't stand the default media player any longer and I really would like vlc on this phone but this is defeating me so far. Google isn't helping either.

Is this the wrong apk? What am I doing wrong?

Any help will be much appreciated!
