There are several ways to install a deb package on Ubuntu.

  1. Install a deb package using the command line by using the dpkg command in the terminal. For example, to install a deb package named package.deb, you can use the following command: sudo dpkg -i package.deb.
  2. You can install deb packages directly by double-clicking them in the Software Center on Ubuntu.
  3. Utilize the Gdebi tool: Gdebi is a graphical tool used for installing deb packages. You can search for and install Gdebi in the Ubuntu Software Center, and then use it to install deb packages.

Regardless of the method used, installing a deb package requires using administrator permissions (sudo) to execute the installation command. Once installed, the installed application can be found and launched in the application menu.
