See http://ubuntuguide.org/#installuninstalldebfiles.
But I'd advice you not to use deb files you downloaded. The program you
want probably is in a Ubuntu repository
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Repositories) and can be installed by the
package manager "Synaptic" (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto)
