Install deb packages like Zoom or Chrome in Ubuntu 24.04 using graphical method

24.04aptdebsoftware installation

I am unable to install a .deb package downloaded from the internet.

In previous versions of Ubuntu, the software center would act as the GUI frontend to install deb packages but the new snap store does not support installation of deb package.

How do I install .deb package like Google Chrome or Zoom in Ubuntu 24.04 using GUI?

Best Answer

First, install GDebi package manager with the command sudo apt install gdebi-gtk.

Afterward, you can open .deb packages with GDebi to install them.

Optionally, you can install GNOME Software (sudo apt install gnome-software) as a GUI appstore to browse/install/remove APT packages from the official repositories, and can also install .deb packages downloaded from the internet.
