There's a better option. Apt stores the downloaded packages in
/var/cache/apt/archives. It doesn't remove them until you say so with
"apt-get clean" or "apt-get autoclean". (the latter doesn't remove
everything) If you really want to keep something, just copy it out of
that directory. Another option is to download the .deb via a web
browser or some such and use 'dpkg -i' to install it/them.

man bash
Read about environment variables.

Whatever file you feel like setting it in, as long as your shell reads
it :-). (IOW the shell (and thus environment variables) are quite
flexble and can be handled in a wide variety of ways)

I recommend simply using the ready-made debian package instead. It's
simpler that way.
