@Len E. – debinstaller was writer to be used from inside a graphical file manager (associate .deb files with debinstaller’s script and they will always be opened using it).
If you are using the terminal, probably it’s better to stick with “sudo apt install …”
Debinstaller is officially available for antiX, it’s one of the scripts included in the ft10-transformation package. It installs a little over 3mb of files if the user is running antiX Full – usually not a big deal – but since you are using “base”, probably it’s best to stick to using the script directly or (if ft10-transformation installs) it probably install lots of packages (I never tested that- I never even ran any other version other than antiX full, since my antiX 16 days)
