A deb package can be installed on Linux by running:
sudo dpkg -i Package.deb
However, the installation may fail because dependencies are missing. In such cases, I found a tip which appears to work very well. After the failed dpkg command, run:
sudo apt-get -f install
This a shorthand for --fix-broken, and installs the dependencies and completes the aborted dpkg installation. Like magic.
