Probably. Do you have any problems with it? Your wifi module doesn't work? You
don't know which software you may use to connect from cli? Some other
questions?  Please provide more info so we can help you.

Use dpkg utility, it has '-i' parameter. But I should warn you that it's pretty
bad way to install packages: dpkg can't handle dependencies (I mean, it can't
fetch them from servers on the Internet/LAN or from disks). You better use
aptitude or apt-get and install packages from disks or servers.
