Help with installing software over the Internet

Ok, so even after scouring the Internet for how to install software through the Internet, I couldn't find anything that helped. ATM I am wanting to install a program called openproj from sourceforge.net on my ZOS Virtual Machine but I can't figure it out. Or is it even possible to download and install software from the Internet?

Go here http://sourceforge.net/projects/openpro ... aries/1.4/ and download the openproj_1.4-2.deb file.

Then either double click on it and install it through the software center. Or do it through terminal.
Navigate to the folder you placed the file and then

Code:

sudo dpkg -i openproj_1.4-2.deb

In case you get any dependency errors, run

Code:

sudo apt-get install -f

On the VM guest machine you can only get internet if the "host" has internet. If the host has internet (either wifi or wired), then the guest system is usually automaticaly connected via ethernet with the internal wireless card.
To connect with internet the guest system via wifi, you need a USB dongle (i.e. external wireless card).

Actually, MV was right on what I was asking. I'll try it out soon. I got ahead of myself yesterday trying to find out how to do it and ended up somehow deleting EVERYTHING on my box so I ended up having to reinstall it. This was with VMware Player. I now have it installed on Virtualbox and I like it much better. Now I need/want to get everything that I spent a good portion of the day doing back on the machine. Thanks for the help.
