How to install packages using apt-get and dpkg

Jump to Comments

Here is a useful link explaining how to install packages, in plain English!

Sometimes there are packages I cannot find in the repositories I have enabled in Synaptic Package Manager, so I download the .deb file from the author’s website. However I do not know how to proceed from there. This link tells you what to do, and also gives information on apt-get commands (Synaptic Package Manager is a frontend for apt-get, from what I understand; please correct me if I am wrong!)
