I think that all you do is right click on the deb file and choose install, but it has been a while. I generally use the Software Center to install.

Hi fahd47

If it's a .deb file, then all you need to do is open it like a regular file. When you double-click it, Ubuntu Software Center will open up and ask you if you really want to install it.

should be as simple as that. If you have any problems, be sure to post back.

Ok i double clicked it and software center opened up.But while installing i got a warning saying that this is a bad package or something and doesnt meet the quality standards.....but i ignored it and installed it anyway!!
Now when i run it i got the 'license agreement screen' after that i dont see anything....
Have i done something wrong??
