I'd like to install .deb packages I download from the internet, (ie google chrome or discord) from nautilus by just double clicking (the way it works in windows). I used to use gdebi, but it opens a gui panel, which annoys me personally so I removed it. Is there any way to do this by shell script or install some package that does it for me?

To be clear, I have root access on my machine, I can change arbitrary files and can run any scripts as "sudo." I just want to be able to install .deb packages in nautilus by double-clicking, instead of having to open a terminal.

I realize the security implications of this, but I only download packages I trust and have nothing valuable on my computer so I would like a way to save the 30 seconds.
