Actually, the second alternative (doubleclicking the file) is the better
choice, since it will automatically download all dependencies (required
additional packages) that the avg package will have. The dpkg command
can't do this.

It is safer to use gksu instead of sudo when running graphical
(non-commandline) applications. Using sudo for these can have unexpected
side-effects and can cause trouble later.
