Installing dpkg files can be seen as a pain but it doesn't have to be that way at all. DPKG files are known as "Debian Packages", similar to .exe files within Windows. They allow for the defined package to be installed on the OS for later use. To install dpkg files from the command line we will need to use the command of "dpkg" along the option of "-i" meaning install.
