dpkg --install package_version.deb If there are unsatisfied dependancies, dpkg will warn you and stop after unpacking the package, but before configuring it. Because of this, you may wish to use apt-get instead. When you use apt-get, you can forget about dealing with .deb files, and instead think only about the package that you want to install. You can read the documentation for these utilities with ``man dpkg'' or ``man apt-get''.
