Package Installation - Ask Ubuntu
this question has answer here:
i primary windows user , learning linux. there different software need install in linux. don't have internet connection @ home. there way can download software in office using windows install in linux. windows can download software (setup file .exe) run
welcome ubuntu!
ubuntu (and debian + derivates) uses .deb
package, considered equivalent windows .exe
file.
if want install software manually without internet connection, can download .deb files ubuntu repository http://packages.ubuntu.com/
first, choose distribution (i assume running 16.04 lts = xenial), pick package need , download according architecture (32b or 64b)
when have file downloaded, install either double-clicking, open software center, can confirm installation, or, if interested in more sophisticated way, can open terminal ctrl+alt+t , type:
cd "name_of_directory_where_you_put_the_file"
sudo dpkg -i "nameofthepackage.deb"
it may happen, won't able install package due missing dependencies. difficult fix without internet connection new user, tho. can use error output , packages stated missing.
good luck , if had questions, feel free ask in comments, or editing question, creating new one.
