−	Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)DEB is the extension name of files from the Debian software package. DEB files are used to install applications or utilities on cracked or “jailbroken” iOS devices like iPod Touch, iPhones, and iPads without having to open hacking applications like Cydia. Installing DEB files on your iOS devices is very simple. All you need are the proper software applications and a computer to do it.	+	This wikiHow teaches you how to install software from a DEB package on your Debian, Ubuntu, or Linux Mint system. Files ending with the extension ''.deb'' can be installed using the GDebi Package Installer, Ubuntu Software Manager (Ubuntu only), Apt, and Dpgk.
