What is a DEB file?
A Debian Software Package file, or DEB as it is more often referred to, is a compressed binary formatted Unix archive file. It is constructed of two TAR archives, either bzip or gzip, and has the file extension of .deb after extraction. One of the archives is used for the installer’s control information and the other is used for the installable data. Upon decompression – or extraction – of a DEB file, it is ready to run within the system being used. DEBs are always ready to run and are smart enough to add, remove, and configure itself to what you need it to do. Each package will come with its own documentation in the directory and can be located and reviewed within the package description. Keep in mind that each package has a name and comes with a set of rules for what can and cannot be in it.
