.deb packages

[Victor Mendonça]

It doesn't look like the file is in your Downloads folder.

Try this,

- Open your terminal and your file explorer
- Type 'sudo dpkg -i ' on your terminal without the single quotes. Also
make sure there's a space after the "-i". Don't hit enter yet
- With your mouse, click on the deb file and drag it to your terminal. You
should see the name and location of the file added after the command we
entered before
- Hit enter
