How to install a deb file

When you use apt to install a package, internally it uses dpkg. When you install a package using apt, it first creates a list of all the dependencies and downloads it from the repository.
Once the download is finished it calls dpkg to install all those files, satisfying all the dependencies.
So if you have a .deb file:

• You can install it using sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb/file followed by sudo apt-get install -f.
• You can install it using sudo apt install ./name.deb (or /path/to/package/name.deb).
  With old apt-get versions you must first move your deb file to /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory. For both, after executing this command, it will automatically download its dependencies.
• Install gdebi and open your .deb file using it (Right-click -> Open with). It will install your .deb package with all its dependencies.
  (Note: APT maintains the package index which is a database of available packages available in repo defined in /etc/apt/sources.list file and in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory. All these methods will fail to satisfy the software dependency if the dependencies required by the deb is not present in the package index.)

Why to use sudo apt-get install -f after sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb/file (mentioned in first method). From man apt-get

 -f, --fix-broken
           Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place.

When dpkg install a package and package dependency is not satisfied, it leaves the package in unconfigured state and that package is considered as broken.
sudo apt-get install -f command tries to fix this broken package by installing the missing dependency.

Installing WineHQ packages on Ubuntu

If you have previously installed a Wine package from another repository, please remove it and any packages that depend on it (e.g., wine-mono, wine-gecko, winetricks) before attempting to install the WineHQ packages, as they may cause dependency conflicts.
If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven't already):

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 

Add the repository:

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/

On Linux Mint 17.x, the last line should be the following:

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ trusty main'

On Linux Mint 18.x, the last line should be the following:

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ xenial main'

Update packages:

sudo apt-get update

Then install one of the following packages:

Stable branch	sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable
Development branch	sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel
Staging branch	sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-staging

If apt-get complains about missing dependencies, install them, then repeat the last two steps (update and install).

---

If you have previously used the distro packages, you will notice some differences in the WineHQ ones:

• Files are installed to /opt/wine-devel.

• Menu items are not created for Wine's builtin programs (winecfg, etc.), and if you are upgrading from a distro package that had added them, they will be removed. You can recreate them yourself using your menu editor.

• Binfmt_misc registration is not added. Consult your distro's documentation for update-binfmts if you wish to do this manually.

• WineHQ does not at present package wine-gecko or wine-mono. When creating a new wine prefix, you will be asked if you want to download those components. For best compatibility, it is recommended to click Yes here. If the download doesn't work for you, please follow the instructions on the Gecko and Mono wiki pages to install them manually.

Installing without Internet

To install Wine on an Ubuntu machine without internet access, you must have access to a second Ubuntu machine (or VM) with an internet connection to download the Wine .deb package and its dependencies.
The procedure goes like this: On the machine with internet, add the WineHQ PPA, then cache just the necessary packages without actually extracting them:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds
sudo apt-get update

Then cache just the packages necessary for installing wine, without extracting them:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get --download-only install winehq-devel
sudo apt-get --download-only dist-upgrade

Copy all of the .deb files in /var/cache/apt/archives to a USB stick:

cp -R /var/cache/apt/archives/ /media/usb-drive/deb-pkgs/

Finally, on the machine without internet, install all of the packages from the flash drive:

cd /media/usb-drive/deb-pkgs
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

The same instructions can also be used for an offline installation of the `winehq-staging` packages.

Compiling WoW64

Ubuntu's implementation of Multiarch is still incomplete, so for now you can't simply install 32-bit and 64-bit libraries alongside each other. If you're on a 64-bit system, you'll have to create an isolated environment for installing and building with 32-bit dependencies. See Building Biarch Wine On Ubuntu for detailed instructions for Ubuntu using LXC, and Building Wine for general information.

Google in Linux Mint

Why isn't Google included by default in Linux Mint?

Amongst commercial search engines, only the ones which share with Linux Mint the revenue Linux Mint users generate for them are included by default.

How can I add Google to Linux Mint?

Click here to add Google to your search engines.

Will Google be included by default in future releases of Linux Mint?

Yes, eventually all search engines will share the revenue our users generate for them and be included by default in Linux Mint. The process just takes time.
