If you have downloaded the .deb files do this:
1.Open the console
2. Move to the directory where your .deb files are located.
e.g.:
cd /home/user/downloads
3. Install with:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

cd /home/user/downloads
3. Install with:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
I would change step 3 to
sudo apt install *.deb
This way it installs with dependency resolution.

Thank you for your help. Usually i use more Linux Mint in an old PC (Pentium 4 running at 3GHz with 2GB of Ram and a graphic card AGP of 128MB) but since the processor is 32 Bits i sometimes decide to test other distros.
