    Welcome to the forums!

    You can use apt to install packages from your repositories like this:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install package_name
    Check the APT Manual for other methods of installing using apt:

    APT HOWTO - Managing packages

    I think you'll need to look at this page to install packages locally using apt:
