    Hey man, we’re living parallel lives. I literally just did this yesterday. The command you’re looking for is gdebi. Try gdebi (name of the package’s file, uncompressed to a .deb) if you downloaded the .Deb from the website. tic80 will now be a usable command. To uninstall the tic80 command / program you can use apt uninstall tic80. It worked with and without sudo.

        So, as I understand you, you’ve got a copy of tic80-v1.1-linux.deb on a USB stick and want to install this.

        After you’ve mounted the USB-drive, cd to the directory where the downloaded deb-package is located. Then run

        sudo dpkg -i tic80-v1.1-linux.deb
sudo apt -f install

        to install the package and missing dependencies.

            Cool. Thank you. I haven’t looked into the changelog ever. Obviously this works for quite a while now (~2017?) without moving the deb-file to /var/cache/apt/archives/.

                That depends on how you have mounted the device, as this is usually not done automatically. As I understand, your system doesn’t have a desktop environment. So the you need to search e.g. the output of sudo dmesg after plugging in the USB stick, there should appear s.th. like /dev/sdb1 or alike. Then you can mount the partition e.g. to /mnt directory

                sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

                You anyway can check the output of mount (without arguments) if and where the device was mounted successfully.

                You later can safely unmount the USB stick by

                sudo umount /dev/sdb1
