### Brief explanation

The `sudo dpkg -i discord-package-name.deb` command is used to install a Debian package (with a .deb extension) on a Debian-based Linux system, such as Ubuntu or Deepin.

`dpkg` is the Debian Package Manager, a tool used to install, configure, and manage software packages on Debian-based systems.

`-i` is an option for the `dpkg` command, which specifies that you want to install a package.

## Run

```apache
discord
```
