Welcome to forums.
IDK what you downloaded and or from where, but the only way to get XBMC properly for those installing it from repos is to use Team XBMC PPA, so forget what you "downloaded"
Read Team XBMC PPA (wiki) and follow the instructions.

The only other sensible way - if you've downloaded a .deb file - is to use sudo dpkg -i <file>.deb. Be aware that (a) you're at the mercy of wherever you downloaded the file from, and (b) you won't get any automatic updates as dpkg (the packaging system) doesn't know from whence the file originated. Using the PPA route that uNi refers to addresses both of these issues, as it's a trusted source that will get automatically updated.
