Hmmm! So that's Catch-22: The normal way to install something is to
use the Play Store app on the phone, but you can not use that, because
you have no keyboard to type the app's name into the Play Store app.
If you can USB-connect your phone to your computer and copy files from
your computer to your phone, then the easiest way to solve this is to
get the app outside the Play Store / Google Play and to 'side-load' it.
To get the app:
<https://apkpure.com/gboard-the-google-keyboard/com.google.android.inputmethod.latin/versions>
Select the oldest version ("Requires Android: Android 4.0+"), so
you're sure that it will work on your old Android version:
<https://apkpure.com/gboard-the-google-keyboard/com.google.android.inputmethod.latin/download/21203-APK?from=versions%2Fversion>
The filename will be:
'Gboard the Google Keyboard_v4.0.21203.1613964_apkpure.com.apk'
Before installing the APK (by tapping on the file on your phone), you
will have to enable 'Allow installation of apps from unknown sources'.
That setting is probably under Settings -> Security.
Don't worry about the "unknown" qualification, it just means *any*
source other than Play Store / Google Play.
I use the Apkpure site all the time and consider it to be very safe.
Good luck.
