Aside of typing "sudo gdebi-gtk", how can I add the option to open with gdebi when right-clicking on a .deb file?

I am running Debian Stretch, and Gnome.

1-)What Desktop Environment? In Gnome the first option 'Open with GDebi Package Installer' does the trick here.

You can always install from terminal like so:

Code:

sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb

2-).deb files are installed by double left click.

They will be installed and a menu item placed in the correct menu. They usually will then appear in Add/Remove so you can uninstall if required
