You'll need to switch to Desktop Mode first. Once there, open the terminal and use `sudo dpkg -i yourfile.deb`. If you get any dependency errors, run `sudo apt-get install -f` to fix them!

Use Desktop Mode, then open Konsole (the terminal app) and type `sudo dpkg -i yourfile.deb`. If it complains about dependencies, use `sudo apt-get install -f` right after.
