How do you install apps that you downloaded?

I downloaded LibreOffice that is a deb into a folder in my second hard drive.
Here the link; https://www.libreoffice.org/download/do ... lang=en-US

I tried to use the install command in Konsole but that didn't work.
Here is the input and output from it.

Code:

noid@Laptop:~$ sudo install /D:\Data/Setups/LibreOffice/LibreOffice_24.8.4.2_Linux_x86-64_deb/[sudo] password for noid: install: missing destination file operand after '/D:Data/Setups/LibreOffice/LibreOffice_24.8.4.2_Linux_x86-64_deb/'Try 'install --help' for more information.
I also tried this

Code:

noid@Laptop:~$ sudo apt install /D:Data/Setups/LibreOffice/LibreOffice_24.8.4.2_Linux_x86-64_deb/[sudo] password for noid: Reading package lists... DoneE: Unsupported file /D:Data/Setups/LibreOffice/LibreOffice_24.8.4.2_Linux_x86-64_deb/ given on commandlinenoid@Laptop:~$
I looked at the help file but didn't see anything useful other than it said that if you want to "install" an app, you have to use an installer like Apper, Discover or Synaptic. The problem is that you can't tell them to install from a file. Bummer...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
