CLI method

Code:

dpkg -i /full/path/to/.deb

or Gdebi

Code:

sudo apt install gdebi

Just right click on the downloaded .deb file and select Open with other applications. (And choose gdebi of course)

Terminal will give you useful output. You can try to satisfy deps with:

Code:

sudo apt -f install

What exactly happens when you choose a .deb package in the App Center for installation? You need to explain further.
