. If you're not using the appropriate system, like Linux, you can use programs like 7-Zip to open the .deb file and see its contents. This wikiHow teaches you how to open a DEB file to view its contents on a Windows PC.

Click the downloaded .exe file when it's finished downloading, then click Allow changes if prompted and click Install. You will see a progress bar as the installation progresses. Finally, click Close to close the installation wizard.
Open 7-Zip File Manager. It should be under the "Recently Added" header in your Start menu.
Navigate to the .deb file. This program works just like the native file manager on your computer.
Click your file. It will highlight in blue.
Click the extract button. This is at the top of the window and looks like a blue minus button, -. A window will pop up with options such as extraction location.
Click Ok. The files inside the .deb file will extract into the location you specified in the previous step.
