.DEB files are the files Cydia uses to install the package you want. Sometimes  though, cracked Cydia apps appear and the only way to install them is by installing the .DEB file directly from Terminal, iFile or the Cydia autoinstall feature.

First method: Directly from Terminal

1. Install Terminal from Cydia or if your Cydia is broken, download this and put it in /Applications or /var/stash/Applications.xxxxx (Make sure to chmod Terminal.app to 755 and respring)
2. If you already have your .deb file, access your device with your favorite SSH Client of with iPhoneBrowser and go to /var/mobile
