If you're on the latest firmware, just click on it (in the file manager) and it shall take you to the Application Manager where you can install it.
If you're NOT on the latest firmware, then get it!
Also, next time, try searching a little, this has been posted quite a few times before!

.deb files are not binaries, they are archives and they can be unpacked to your device's memory
They can contain almost everything so be carefull when tou install them.
Only unpack .deb from safe sources
To use them,move them in USB mass storage memory and type in terminal(you need rootsh installed):
root
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/x.deb
once it's installed, you can suppress the deb file
Edit: oops, I forgot that the last firmware can directly install them from file manager

As said above be careful from debs outside of extras.
A postinst scripts can be made to erase all of MyDocs for example without executing anything
