Install software programs from USB in Ubuntu?

[krimzen85]

Hey All,

I am wondering if there is a way to install software onto Ubuntu Gnome Desktop via USB. Anotherwords, I have a program that I want to put on Ubuntu, and I have unzipped it on Windows Vista, and threw it on my USB Stick.

Is there a command like

sudo apt-usb add
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install TCP Viewer 2.82

Or something like that? I know there is one for apt-cdrom add, but how do you install software from USB?

If they're .deb files, would this work?
