Installing a package from external storage (help needed)

So, I have a device running stripped down Ubuntu and I wanna get tic80 on it, I have a copy on a flash drive but idk how to install it. The machine is pretty much CLI only

If the device has network access, then you can just wget it and install it.

Its not on apt, I tried that

So, as I understand you, you've got a copy of tic80-v1.1-linux.deb on a USB stick and want to install this.

After you've mounted the USB-drive, cd to the directory where the downloaded deb-package is located. Then run

sudo dpkg -i tic80-v1.1-linux.deb
sudo apt -f install

to install the package and missing dependencies.
