I downloaded a deb package in my main system, now I want to know how do I run the deb package inside the chroot firejail?

I assume this is a continuation of #2477?

Just chroot into the directory and install the package like you normally do. Once the application is installed, run it from outside the chroot as normal user with firejail --chroot=/directory.

Don't forget to keep chroot environment and application up to date.

I'm assuming here that you populated the chroot directory with a tool like debootstrap.
DON'T install something in the chroot if all is only bind-mounts, you might screw your system if you don't know what you are doing.
