After downloading the .deb package you can install it by either one of these three methods:
1. Selecting it, right-click on it and from the context menu select install with gdebi or
2. Double-click the file which does just about the same as above or
3. Open a terminal and type

Code:

sudo dpkg -i pkg_name.deb

if get any messages regarding missing dependecies type

Code:

sudo apt --fix-broken install

and that should take care of those. On the other hand, methods 1 or 2 will take care of everything for you.

Hope this helps!

WRT the above - for a command line install it is perhaps easier to simply open a terminal in download file location and do

Code:

sudo apt install ./file.deb

- that way the dependencies are resolved all in one go.
