Installing SW on Debian Alpha

[Padiyath Sreekumaran <Kumar.Padiyath@psi.ch>]

   Hello,
   Can I install the SW with the command "dpkg -i programname"
   Is there any simple way of installing the SW?
   For example I tried with dpkg -i php or dpkg -i php.deb etc.

   Thanks for your advice.

   Regards,
   Kumar
