Ubuntu/Linux uses the ‘gdebi’ package installer to run .DEB packages. This will automatically check if you are attempting to install an older package than is already installed and warn you if a newer version is already installed. If you choose to downgrade the version of your ExacqVision Server, Client, or Web Service software you will need to perform this from the Terminal.
