just double-click the .deb file you downloaded to install it

Sorted Thank you.

Just for future reference, if it is a “.deb” you just double click on the file to install it? or is that only on some of them?

Thanks

Yeah just double-click it … if it can’t satisfy any required dependencies or it’s the wrong architecture it’ll warn you and not install.

This does NOT mean you should be going around the web looking for .deb files … whenever possible you’re still safer installing software from the default repositories through your package manager(s).
