How do I install a .deb file?

debian:~# deb alien_8.52_all.deb
-bash: deb: command not found

what is the correct command to install that?

STFW, the command is
dpkg -i whatever.deb

From the directory where the .deb file is, "dpkg -i alien_8.52_all.deb" should install the package. It may not be the best method, i.e., I think you are supposed to make a local repository and then install via apt-get, but dpkg -i will "work."

dpkg -i *.deb
