Hi!
Linux Mint 18.1.
There are many packages in a compressed archeve.
What is the sequence at the installation?
Unpack the file and then run the "package commmand" *.deb. I don't remember the exact commands or flags. Probably dpkg -i or -I or don't know... Use your favourite search engine to find how to install software from *.deb.
I have already tried "dpkg -i *.deb".
It have been failed because of dependencies.
After it I started to find another way :(
If you're using the packages for your distro it shouldn't fail for missing dependencies.
And if it fails you could try to install them :)
