Apt-get install guide and software installation in Debian.

First of all, the most basic way of installing a software in Debain is by installing it using *.deb files. Simple way to do it is to use the following command.

$dpkg -i *.deb

This will generally work if the package is small and it doesnt depend much on any other package. However if while installing, you may get a package dependency problem. So the most preferred way to install packages is by using Apt-get.
