I want to know if there is a way to install apps on Samsung Tizen TV using the command line.
I mean to say if I build the app and generate the "wgt" file using the IDE on my PC, is there a way to install the app using the "wgt" file from some other PC which does not have the IDE?
Basically is there something equivalent to a adb install in Tizen TV?
I went through the documentation which they have provided and I could only find installation procedure which requires the IDE:

This is not possible with a regular consumer television. It can only be done on special 'development' tv provided to you directly from Samsung. There is a difference between 'developer mode' on a consumer tv, and a 'developer tv' which comes from Samsung. And as I understand, those are only provided if you have 'platform' level privilege as an app developer.
According to this post on the samsungdforum, they say you can only do this if you have 'Partner' level access and only on the emulator.
According to Samsung TV security policy, shell command access is allowed to the limited users.
The Samsung TV security policy prevents command line access to consumer TVs because it's actually a very powerful tool that can cause much damage. I have contact with a team who have 'Platform' level access and a 'developer tv'. It took them all of about 15 mins to brick their first tv, because developers will be developers and will start poking around under the hood if given the opportunity. The current incarnation of Samsung's command line tool (sdb) just doesn't have the safeguards in place to protect us from ourselves.
