Installing a HarmonyOS app on a Lite Wearable relies on the Huawei Health and DevEco Assistant apps on Huawei phones.

Prerequisites:

The Huawei Health is running the latest version.
The HUAWEI DevEco Assistant app is installed on the phone. You can download this app from HUAWEI AppGallery.
You need to create a HAP that contains the signature information for your app. For details, see Building an HAP Package with Signature Information.

Use a USB cable to connect the phone to the PC.
When prompted, select Transfer files on the phone.
Open the project folder on the PC, then go to Build > outputs > hap to locate the HAP. Copy the HAP to the /sdcard/haps/ directory on the phone.

NOTE: If the haps folder is not found under /sdcard/, create one before copying the HAP.

Connect the Lite Wearable to the phone through Bluetooth.
Open the Huawei Health app on the phone. Touch the Devices tab, then touch Add.
Click to enlarge.
Touch Smart Watch and select the desired Lite Wearable model.
Touch PAIR and follow the onscreen instructions to connect the wearable to your phone.
Open DevEco Assistant. The home screen will display the wearable that is connected to the phone.
