sudo gdebi package.deb
or
sudo gdebi-gtk package.deb
Which will open up a graphical installer.
dpkg -i [name of file].deb
You might need to add a sudo command in the front to elevate the command to superuser level.
In ubuntu, simply double clicking the file should be enough, if not right click the item and open it with the installer.
Or.
You could use the command line way, like stated above.
