title: Double-click installer in Ubuntu?
body: <p>I'm trying to update our installer so a user can simply double-click on a file and have all the dependencies and our software installed easily. This is a suite of applications that will are deployed on a clean <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_version_history#Ubuntu_8.04_LTS_(Hardy_Heron)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ubuntu 8.04</a> (Hardy Heron) installation. I have investigated making a <em>.deb</em> file, but listing the dependencies doesn't work, because there isn't any Internet access available. And, any script that would set up a local <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APT_(software)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">APT</a> repository would still need to be run from the command line. Is there a way to put a <em>.deb</em> file inside of a <em>.deb</em> file?</p>
  <p>I know many companies ship shell scripts that you have to <em>chmod +x</em>, and then execute. This is not acceptable. It is ridiculous that this isn't possible; especially considering the distribution and architecture is fixed.</p>
