dpkg -i /path/to/package.deb

thats all there is to it

Siri Amrit Kaur spoke forth with the blessed manuscript:
> I just downloaded the Opera .deb to my /home/[user] partition. How do 
> I install it? What directory do I install it to? What are the 
> commands and do I need to be root? I want it installed so all users 
> can use it. 
> 
> I've used apt-get install to download and install packages before, but 
> for a package that's already been downloaded, I don't know what to do 
> with it.

> Thanks,
