huh?
Installing software in Debian is easy.
Do you know the name of the package you want to install?
Yes - apt-get install package
No - apt-cache search "something about the piece of software", this will list a bunch of packages. If you still aren't sure which package it is, apt-cache show <packagename> until you find it. Once you find it, apt-get install package.

Hmm wait a second. Do you actually have Debian installed? If so, you can apt-get install caitoo as Strike suggested or use dpkg to install the one you downloaded:
dpkg -i caitoo-blah.deb
If you are not using Debian, I don't know if you will be able to do it. .deb files are made specifically for Debian. If you are using an rpm based distro (Mandrake, Redhat) find an rpm version of the file you have.
Good luck
