I have a .deb file in my downloads folder than i need to install with a bunch of dependencies. What is a command that will install the package with the dependencies.

I know this is probably a duplicate but i just want the command to install the package from the downloads folder and automaticly install dependencies, because i don't know much about the terminal

The command you are probably looking for is gdebi. It should be provided by the gdebi-core package.

GDEBI(1)                                                              GDEBI(1)

NAME
       gdebi - Simple tool to install deb files

SYNOPSIS
       gdebi [package.deb]...

DESCRIPTION
       gdebi  lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing its
       dependencies. apt does the  same,  but  only  for  remote  (http,  ftp)
       located packages.

first run *sudo dpkg -i downloaded_package.deb*

You will probably get errors about missing packages (dependencies) now. Execute:

sudo apt-get -f install
