If the Apple TV app is available for your smart TV, then you should be able to download it from the on-device App Store. For Android TV models, that would be the Google Play Store: HOME﹥Apps﹥Google Play Store. Then search for “Apple TV”.
If the Apple TV is not listed as available for your model TV, then that means that your model TV isn’t supported (at this time).
Unsupported models TV can use an external streaming device.

then you need to purchase an appletv box and connect it to the tv's hdmi port
Once Apple released the app to the manufacturer it is up to them as to which of their models are supported. You don't necessarily have to get the Apple box if you don't want to spend that, it would also be available on Roku, FireTV, and Google TV.
Thanks for responding. So I need to buy a box for $180 to watch a streaming service I'm paying for. That's disappointing. Not what I'd expect from Apple. Good to know.
