I'm familiar with .ipa file but .deb , just downloaded a .deb file but don't know how to install it to a jailbroken device ? Thanks

Transfer it to the device and open it with iFile or use an SSH terminal window and run the dpkg command.

So I can transfer this .deb file to the device via iFunbox or iTools which I have then open it with iFile (which I need to install) ? Looking for iFile to install then will give it a shot . Thanks Sir

Yes click on the deb file in iFile and then choose "open with installer" and it will install the deb.

You can use iFunBox to do so. Connect your iPhone to your PC, run iFunBox. Open up your iPhone on the left hand taskbar, and scroll down to Cydia App Install. Drag and drop your .deb file in there. Reboot your device and it'll automatically install it.
