With WinSCP or similar program on PC/Mac:
1) SSH into iPhone – using iPhone Tunnel Suite if your on Windows , Cyberduck if you're on MacOS.
2) Copy .deb file into /tmp folder. Quit Cydia if it's running!
3) Hit Ctrl+T in WinSCP and run the following command : dpkg -i /tmp/name.deb (just to make sure : you replace name.deb with the actual name of the deb file)
(After you hit enter, it wont say "Done". The process is done at the point where it says "Setting up ***...". Wont take more than few seconds.)
4) After installation, you can delete the .deb file.

On iPhone using Terminal:
1) SSH the .deb file into /tmp (If doesn't work, to var/mobile/)
2) Open Terminal and type:
su
alpine
dpkg -i name.deb

To remove, simply go to Cydia > Packages and remove via Cydia.
