How to install from a CD

I am new to Linux...
This question is so basic... assumed it is common knowledge.
I am reading books and tutorials and cannot find the answer
But I am trying for the last 6 hours
I am trying to install some software from a CD,
Obviously my syntax is total nonsense, I tried all sorts of variations.
The file install_tools is a script file
[email protected]:/home/dan# apt-get install /media/EmbeddedLinux/install_tools
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package /media/EmbeddedLinux

Please tell us what distro you are using and if the packages on the CD are from an official distro disk or one you created yourself that only contains packages.0

It is Ubuntu
I am trying to install a cross compiler for an ARM processor from Intellimetrix.
They assume that everybody knows how to do that and do not provide any support.
This is so basic, that it is not even covered in a "Linux for Beginners" book.
Thanks0 -
You can find details on various package installation methods at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware#Installing downloaded packages , the link I provided anchors to the downloaded packages section which should cover your needs.0

You didn't answer mfillpot's questions about the CD. If it is an official disk and all the dependencies are contained on it, maybe just cd'ing to the folder and then doing apt-get install may work.
cd /dev/sr0
Brings you to the CDcd /EmbeddedLinux/install_tools
To get you to the folderapt-get install install_tools
To do the install.
This may or may not work, but it's worth a try. Let us know how you make out.0 -

I believe you are representing the entire path as the package to install. Do what goinEasy9 has suggested. Change your current DIR to that of the CD and type:
# sudo apt-get install <name of package>0
