Each program is different. Best bet is to read the readme/install file & check the web site you got it from.
A general guide: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/lin...are-linux.html
dpkg -i <package.deb> or unzip <package.zip>
when i tried to install skype, i got a .deb file too.
i read and found out that there is a packet manager called "gdebi".
so i made:
apt-get install gdebi
after installation, you can doubleclick on the .deb and its installing.
