WITHOUT INTERNET

You can install it using

sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb/file

followed by

sudo apt-get install -f

WITH INTERNET ACCESS

install Gdebi

in terminal enter

sudo apt-get install gdebi

after install completes go to the .deb file in file explorer-->right click-->open with--->select gdebi--->once gdebi opens and loads select "install package"

Didn't you see the last line: "Note : i dont have internet access , need to install gdebi before access to the internet" ? – Soren A Dec 01 '16 at 14:48
This would require internet access, which he stated he doesn't have. – Caturday Saint Dec 01 '16 at 14:48
oh....I completely missed the last line...Then this should work:- – Abir Roy Chowdhury Dec 01 '16 at 15:08
using
sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb/file followed by sudo apt-get install -f. – Abir Roy Chowdhury Dec 01 '16 at 15:09
Yeah I need to install gdebi and then install my WiFi driver because Ubuntu software won't let me install any .deb file – Beno Dec 01 '16 at 15:12
