But did you know that there is a way to enable such skills without using the app?  Here’s how:

1. Go to the Alexa Skills web page at http://www.amazon.com/skills
2. Choose the skill you wish to enable. 
3. Click on the [GET THE SKILL] button on the right. 
4. After the skill uploads to your device, you can say “Alexa, open [name of skill]”.
5. That’s it. 

Another. way to enable skills is to just tell Alexa to enable a name of a skill. However, doing so may not work if the skill needs for a user to link an account to another service (such as the Pizza Hut app).
