A. You need to use dpkg package manager from shell/command prompt. dpkg is a tool to install, build, remove and manage packages. dpkg itself is controlled entirely via command line parameters. For example -i use to install .deb file.
How do I install .deb file?
To install package called package.deb type the following command:
Go to directory where package.deb is kept. For example if it is in /tmp directory:$ cd /tmp
Type the following command:$ sudo dpkg -i package.deb
