.deb packages

[Raymond House]

this is what I get: raymond at raymond-HP-Pavilion-TS-15-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo
dpkg -i'/home/raymond/Downloads/logmein-hamachi_2.1.0.136-1_amd64.deb'
[sudo] password for raymond:
dpkg: error: unknown option -/

Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use 'apt' or 'aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;

Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through 'less' or
'more' !
