Double-click on them.

Start with the outermost dependencies, and finish with the main package itself.

Alternatively, open the terminal to the folder and type:


sudo dpkg -i *

Installing packages without internet connection is difficult!

Perhaps, AptOnCD?

Try this:

You only need an Internet connection and a USB Memory Stick to download
what you need, then take it to the computer that doesn't have an Internet
connection and install.
