Best Answer
usually I do
dpkg -i <deb file>
, it'll fail saying it needs dependencies. After that when you do anapt-get update
it'll say at the end something like "dependencies are ready to install" I think it then advises to useapt-get install -f
.Once that's done, I use
dpkg -i
again.Worked fine for me last few years.
edit: looking a bit further, apparently a tool called
gdebi
can do this asgdebi [deb file]
.
