Go to windows phone site on pc and open the app page you want to install.
After that go to bottom left of the page there is a option download and install manually download it and copy to your phone.
Then wait sometime as your reads it after that go to store and open options on bottom right and there will be a option install local apps

The OP has a Lumia 1020 which does not have expandable storage. You cannot install local apps without an SD card present on the phone, the option "Install local apps" doesn't even exist without it.

There is a way. If you have two Windows phones, you can turn on Internet sharing on one phone and then download apps larger than 100MB from the other phone which will simply see it as Wifi. Then you can swap the SIM and do the same on the other phone. I've done this many times.

I think perhaps you misunderstood. Of course you can install without an SD card over Wifi or cellular data. The problem the OP has is that there is an artificial limit set of 100MB when installing apps over cellular data. Apps over that size require Wifi and if the OP doesn't have that option, what can he/she do?
