This is a better approach than using <code>dpkg -i</code> because apt will fetch and install the required dependencies (which should also be located in your local repository) in an <strong>offline</strong> fashion.</p> <h2 id="add-local-repository-to-sources">Add Local Repository to Sources</h2> <p>First we need to add our local repository to <code>apt</code>'s list of source repositories, this can be found in <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code>. To add our local repository, we add the following line at the top of the file:</p> <pre><code>/path/to/local-deb-repo/ ./ </code></pre><p>Where <em>local-deb-repo</em> is the name of our local repository directory.</p> <h2 id="add-debian-packages">Add Debian Packages</h2> <p>Now we create local repository's directory just like we specified it in the previous step:</p> <pre><code>mkdir /path/to/local-deb-repo/ </code></pre><p>Once we've done that, we can proceed to put the Debian package files (<code>.deb</code>) and their dependencies inside the directory.</p>
