Hi,
First, please allow me to remind you that installing .debs directly is not recommended. You do not know what the source is, and as a general rule, installing a .deb is like running an unknown executable on Windows; only do it when you trust the source.
That being said, you can open the X-Terminal, and type:
dpkg -i <filename>.
For example:
dpkg -i /home/user/Downloads/example.deb
Hope this helps,
but it says cannot access archive: No such file or directory.
altho the file is already there.

Hey guys, I downloaded ScummV .deb-File and want to install it. I will install it by typing dpkg -i scummvm_1.1.0-maemo_armel.deb, correct?
Also, after I have installed it will I be able to remove it using the App messenger? If yes, will that completely remove it or will bits remain?
Thanks in advance!

What happens with dependecies? I'd like to install https://garage.maemo.org/frs/downloa..._1.1.6_all.deb but it requires some newer package dependencies. Is it enough using dpkg -i command?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Code:
apt-get install -f
Alternatively, if you install aptly from extras-testing, you can just do "aptly install <deb file>" and it will install dependencies for you. The only dependency for aptly is python, so if you have that installed, you could technically just "dpkg -i aptly-*.deb"
