i am already downloaded the .deb file, i don't like to use software center, all i need is open the terminal and type the command to locate the .deb and install it.
So, what is the command, and does it work to install any software?

Simply double click on the .deb file is the easiest.

However...

Use the cd command to get to where the package is located; then, use the following command to install the package
sudo dpkg -i package-name.deb Replace package-name with the name of the virtualbox package.
