      So, as I understand you, you’ve got a copy of tic80-v1.1-linux.deb on a USB stick and want to install this.

      After you’ve mounted the USB-drive, cd to the directory where the downloaded deb-package is located. Then run

      sudo dpkg -i tic80-v1.1-linux.deb
sudo apt -f install

      to install the package and missing dependencies.

          Cool. Thank you. I haven’t looked into the changelog ever. Obviously this works for quite a while now (~2017?) without moving the deb-file to /var/cache/apt/archives/.

              That depends on how you have mounted the device, as this is usually not done automatically. As I understand, your system doesn’t have a desktop environment. So the you need to search e.g. the output of sudo dmesg after plugging in the USB stick, there should appear s.th. like /dev/sdb1 or alike. Then you can mount the partition e.g. to /mnt directory

              sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

              You anyway can check the output of mount (without arguments) if and where the device was mounted successfully.

              You later can safely unmount the USB stick by

              sudo umount /dev/sdb1
