Is downloading it from the google playstore stupid or okay?
I don't believe you can get F-Droid from Play Store. I would get it from their official website just to be sure.
One shows up, which is what made me hesitant. Sounds like stupid is the answer.
Its not on the google play store
That is probably an imposter
The F-Droid app? Its not distributed on GPlat officialy. Could be a trojan. On an unrelated note I would say I trust F-Droid more than GPlay too. Don't have GPlay or Aurora atm
Use the link in the other comment.
Download from the link instead. Once you download the apk file you can install it straight from your phone. You probably need to give permission for it to be installed.
