I don't need to know how to install ubuntu through usb, I just need the terminal commands to install a .deb file manually because Synaptics Package Manager won't install it for me because that computer doesn't have access to the internet.

If you want install it, just double click on it.

Or by terminal do this:
1. Open a terminal by hitting CTRL + ALT + T
2. Move to the folder of the .deb file
3. Run this command:
sudo dpkg -i file_name.deb

Can you help with this problem?
