I have recently downloaded a free app. When I open Terminal and type 'sudo apt install <name>', it sais the Unable to locate package <name>. What is the proper way to do this?

That depends on the format you've downloaded.

#

if you downloaded a file ending in .deb -> sudo dpkg -i /path/to/packageFile.deb && apt install -f

#

if you downloaded a file ending in .tar -> tar -xvf /path/to/archiveFile.tar.xxx and then locate the program, run chmod +x /path/to/binaryProgram and finaly run it

#

if you downloaded a .AppImage file -> chmod +x /path/to/appimage.AppImage and then run it
