Thank you Chris and Clarence for responding to my confusing request for help.

I had already installed the .deb package with dpkg, it's this part of my original question that's really the problem:
A pop-up message box tells me to edit my network settings but pressing the
"Open Network Settings" does nothing. I cannot find a network setting that
will allow me to use my metered connection. How do I proceed?

I use my mobile phone to connect to the Internet and so the connection is metered and I seldom have access to a WiFi connection. I use Synaptic to search for applications but sometimes Software finds applications that Synaptic doesn't.
You may need to use your phone as a hot spot. Then it becomes your WiFi access point.
Another related off topic problem is that my phone's Android OS won't allow me to update the OS on a metered connection. I cannot find a setting to solve this either.
I don't know of way around this UNLESS you find a setting that allows updates via a cellular connection. I Googled for "android allow update cellular" and found a hit for Samsung phones. Sometimes settings are in different places on phones from different manufacturers.

Good luck.
