Hello ubuntu community! I'm new, and I wish to install a .deb file. The file glut.h for OpenGL does not come on my machine, whereas gl.h does. How do I install the glut3.deb file?

double click on it in the file browser, it should open software center and then you can click on install (or it will tell you why it can't install)

It doesn't work. When opening up the software center and clicking Install, the button will fade but no installation will start. Thanks for the reply!

@OP: Try doing what Temüjin posted. If it's in the repos, it's easier to install that way.
