Debian packages can be installed using dpkg command, here I will prefer you to install it by using gdebi command because gdebi is the frontend for dpkg and also it will looks for dependent packages while installing any kind of package.
Once it is done, use the following command to install the package for gdebi as it is necessary for installing Tixati.
root@linuxhelp1:~# apt-get install gdebi -y
