So, just a tip for everyone running an OS based on Debian 8, or Ubuntu 16.04 or newer. Apt (not apt-get) has the ability to do local installations with dependency resolution. Unless you like installing gdebi (and all it's dependencies), there is absolutely no need for it anymore. Literally all the functionality of it is built into apt now.

Code: Select all

apt install /path/to/.deb
apt install /path/to/multi/.debs/*
apt install /path/to/first/.deb /path/to/second/.deb

This is a great feature of apt and it will make installation of .deb files much easier especially for new users, thanks for posting it tlmiller
