This is going to be a beginners tutorial about installing and uninstalling .deb files in Ubuntu linux.
We are going to cover only the basics for simplicity and run the commands in the simplest way possible.
The first ways using DPKG
# Elevate as root
sudo su
# To list the file
ls
# Go to file dir
cd /home/username/Downloads
