External Email - Use Caution        

 Try using apt to do the install, and you could also preface the package name with its absolute path, /path/to/package

$ sudo apt install /path/to/package/freesurfer_7.2.0_amd64.deb

Dear Expert,

I am trying to install Freesurfer-7.2 .deb package. I had this package earlier, and after formatting my system now, I am trying to install Freesurfer again. But I am facing the following issues. 

'freesurfer_7.2.0_amd64.deb' is not a Debian format archive
dpkg: error processing archive freesurfer_7.2.0_amd64.deb (--install):
 dpkg-deb --control subprocess returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 freesurfer_7.2.0_amd64.deb

Kindly request you to provide a solution to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance
Ramesh
