APT is already installed and gdebi appears to be unmaintained.

Just don't forget to prepend ./ (or use the full path) for 'apt' 
otherwise it will assume you want to download a package with the name 
'package_name.deb' (which most likely doesn't exist).

    apt install /full/path/to/file.deb

    apt install ./file.deb # if you are already in the correct directory

Kind regards,
Andrei
