Packages are manually installed via the dpkg command (Debian Package Management System). dpkg is the backend to commands like apt-get and aptitude, which in turn are the backend for GUI install apps like the Software Center and Synaptic.

Something along the lines of:

dpkg -->apt-get, aptitude --> Synaptic, Software Center

But of course the easiest ways to install a package would be, first, the GUI apps (Synaptic, Software Center, etc.), followed by the terminal commands apt-get and aptitude that add a very nice user friendly approach to the backend dpkg, including but not limited to packaged dependencies, control over what is installed, needs update, not installed, broken packages, etc. Lastly the dpkg command which is the base for all of them.

Since dpkg is the base, you can use it to install packaged directly from the command line.

Install a package

For example if the package file is called askubuntu_2.0.deb then you should do sudo dpkg -i askubuntu_2.0.deb. If dpkg reports an error due to dependency problems, you can run sudo apt-get install -f to download the missing dependencies and configure everything. If that reports an error, you'll have to sort out the dependencies yourself by following for example How do I resolve unmet dependencies after adding a PPA?.

If a hyphen is appended to the package name (with no intervening space), the identified package will be removed if it is installed. The /etc/apt/sources.list file is used to locate the desired packages. Inadyn dyndns. All packages required by the package(s) specified for installation will also be retrieved and installed.

Remove a package

For example if the package is called askubuntu then you should do sudo dpkg -r askubuntu.

Reconfigure an existing package

This is useful when you need to reconfigure something related to said package. Some useful examples it the keyboard-configuration when you want to enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace in order to reset the X server, so you would the following:

Another great one is when you need to set the Timezone for a server or your local testing computer, so you use use the tzdata package:

Debian (.deb) packages are the packages that are used in Ubuntu. You can install any .deb package in your system. .deb files can generally be installed from your file manager (Nautilus) merely by clicking on them, since file associations with the default installer is already set in Ubuntu. These instructions are for those who wish to install packages from the command-line terminal (Terminal).

To install a downloaded Debian (Ubuntu) package (.deb): Open Terminal and type

My favourite is GDebi, available from both terminal/shell or graphical desktop.

I usually associate .deb files with GDebi as it is fast and efficient - especially compared to Ubuntu Software Center. One of the main feature of GDebi is it resolves dependencies and installs them.

For command-line run sudo gdebi <package.deb> to install a single deb file.

Are you looking for all dpkg commands? click this link to have a read.

There are two actions, they are dpkg-query and dpkg-deb.

Install a package

Remove a package

Remove a package and its configuration files

List all installed packages.

You can pipe the command to less (a pager) so you can more easily scroll the content:

Check if the package is installed or not

Check if the package is installed or not, and if it is, launch it:

See whether a package is installed or not

And this will show the location where the package will be installed.Here -S (capital S) to search whether the package was installed or not.

Install a *.deb package from a specified location

Here -R is recursive. (Recursively handle all regular files matching the pattern *.deb found at specified directories and all of its subdirectories).

Show package details

Here -p (lowercase p) will show the package info:

View the content of a package

Use -c (lowercase c) to show the content:

Extract the *.deb package file

Use -x (lowercase x) to extract:

Extract and display the filenames contained in a package

Use -X (uppercase X) to display the content with extraction.

Display information about a package

Here -I stands for information:

Reconfigure an already installed package

dpkg-reconfigure reconfigures packages after they already have been installed. Pass it the name(s) of a package or packages to reconfigure. It will ask configuration questions, much like when the package was first installed.

This will reconfigure postfix the same way as when you installed it for the first time.

While dpkg -i indeed installs the package, it doesn't do any automatic dependency resolution, meanwhile there are two other alternatives, using gdebi, or the apt-get tool. To use the later just use:

Even if you are on the directory with the package you need to give a path using ./ at the start:

A handy tip when installing a program like Libreoffice which has multiple .deb files in a folder is to use.

Here's the best way to install a .deb file on Ubuntu on the command-line:

If you don't have gdebi installed already, install it using sudo apt install gdebi-core.

gdebi will look for all the dependencies of the .deb file, and will install them before attempting to install the .deb file. I find this much preferable than sudo dpkg -i skype.deb && sudo apt install -f. The latter is much too eager to remove dependencies in certain situations. For instance, when I tried to install Skype, it attempted to remove 96 (!) packages, including packages like compiz and unity! gdebi gave a much clearer error message:

Create your own script installer debInstaller as the following:

Make the script executable with

Then move it to some dirs in your PATH or add the current directory to your PATH.

I'm going to move it to /usr/bin

Now you can install any .deb package using the command:

The added value of this method is the solving the dependencies problem, since mostly you'll face some problems when you install a .deb with dpkg -i due to dependencies error, so you have to use apt-get install -f to solve it, this script will do the job for you, but here I used apt-get --yes --fix-broken install to automatically solve these errors without user intervention.

The second line is to fix broken packages if the installation fails, then, install again to complete the installation.

Another approach is to use gdebi tool to install deb files.
