APT is already installed and gdebi appears to be unmaintained.
Just don't forget to prepend ./ (or use the full path) for 'apt'
otherwise it will assume you want to download a package with the name
'package_name.deb' (which most likely doesn't exist).
apt install /full/path/to/file.deb
apt install ./file.deb # if you are already in the correct directory
Kind regards,
Andrei
