which rom are you running?

do you have usb debugging enabled?

do you have install from unknown sources enabled?

do you have allow mock locations enabled?

are you asking about install apk from sd card within normal android environment or are you asking about installing from sd card while in CWM recovery?

if CWM, which version of CWM or recovery?

what app or zip are you trying to install?

Im trying to flash my phone with a custom rom, I have usb debugging, unknown sources and mock location enabled, I tried some tutorials but when I reboot my phone into recovey mode, there is not an "install zip from sd" option in the menu, so I cant flash my phone, its rooted, I just cant install a custom rom because of it

it sounds like you've still got a stock rom, with stock recovery, which does not have that option.

Did you use Odin or Heimdal to flash the current rom from your pc?

CWM Recovery

You are running the OEM recovery software. There are many threads on here about how to use Odin or Heimdall to get CWM recovery booting which will give you all of the options to install, clear data, mount and partition.
