In this guide I'll show how to install a .deb file using the command line. In particular:
dpkg -i package_name.deb
or
apt install package_name.deb
The latter command is used to install the dependencies too, hence it's more complete, but this doesn't mean it's the best suited for you scenario.
To uninstall the package when you don't need it anymore, just run:
dpkg -r package_name.deb
or
apt remove package_name
When downloading a .deb file from the Internet, always make sure that the file is from a trusted a source and double check its checksum against the one provided by the repository.
