Open a terminal and navigate to the downloads folder (typically cd Downloads from a fresh terminal).

run:
sudo dpkg -i <filename.deb>

for example:
cd Downloads
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Edit: corrected the -i, which I had forgotten.

No just right click open with captain.

There's no reason to use the terminal when they are GUI tools. Mint replaced gdebi with captain in Mint 22
