In Debian, or another distribution?
Actually, apt-get is not that easy to use from a local system.
If there are no dependicies, 'dpkg -i' (from current directory) is better.
To run apt-get locally you need to create an entry in the /etc/apt/sources.list file. Otherwise apt-get refuses to know it is there.
