A shorter option is as follows:
1       Download the appropriate file(s)
2       tar zxvf ./<wherever you downloaded to>/<downloaded '.tar./gz' file>
3       sudo dpkg -iR ./<as above>/<extracted installation directory>/DEBS

The 'R' option, as suggested by it's character, invokes a recursive 
operation on all .deb files in all sub-directories, thus avoiding the 
redundant operation on the desktop integration stuff.
