I found this litle gem while searching for something else in the board search files ....
$ sudo dpkg -i ####### (drag the .deb package from your file manager to the terminal) and paste it in the ######## ..... but you will have to remove the apostrophes both in front of and after the file info .....
Sorry didn't realize you had written that post ..... I did want to show that if you don't delete the apostrophes fore and aft the .deb file it will not work .... it drove me crazy trying to figure out you had to do that ....
Thanks for that great tip .... it makes it so much easier for me ....
