Q: Help pls

Welcome to Apple Support Communities

You have a 4th generation iPod touch, which the most recent iOS version it supports is 6.1.6. As the applications you want to install require iOS 7 or later, you cannot install them, so you need a new device.

That iPod touch model can’t be updated past 6.1.6. If desired, click here and follow the instructions.

You can't unless you buy a newer device that can run iOS 8.

See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.
