You need to run the command from the directory containing the .deb file (or type the full path to the file).
From the download directory (sudo or root):

Code:

apt install ./filename.deb
Don't forget the ./ it tells apt to look in the current directory.
Also be sure the file is compatible with Debian. Lots of .deb files on the internets are created for Ubuntu and may not work.
If the application is available in the Debian repository, it is far preferable to install from there than some website download.
