You can also use these steps with other Ubuntu-based distros like Kubuntu and Elementary.

Using a graphical installer

New Linux users or those who prefer a graphical installation method should use this method.

  • To install GDebi, open a terminal and type the following command. 
    sudo apt install gdebi

    Note:

    • Most Ubuntu-based distributions include GDEBI by default.
    • If you are using Debian and receive an error saying you are not listed in the sudoers file, run the following commands to install sudo, then try installing GDebi again. 
      su - 
apt install sudo
  • When prompted, enter your admin password and continue the installation.
  • You can download the DEB installer from our Download Center.
  • Open it using GDebi by double-clicking the installer file.
  • Then click Install.
  • Type your admin password when prompted, and then click Finish.

Using the terminal
