Hi, I am a complete newbie attempting to install XBMC and get my wifi working. I have access to an ethernet cable now and then and was wondering how to INSTALL a file that I have downloaded. I am using the raspberry pi operating software that comes with the pi (the sd card you can buy when you buy your pi). If someone could tell me how to do this I'd be really grateful!

depends on the distro.

If it's debian - dpkg -i <package name>.deb
