    You should extract downloaded archive with

    cd ~/Downloads
wget https://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/project/codeblocks/Binaries/17.12/Linux/Debian%20stable/codeblocks_17.12-1_amd64_stable.tar.xz
tar -xf codeblocks_17.12-1_amd64_stable.tar.xz

    Then install extracted deb-packages:

    sudo dpkg -i *17.12*.deb

    And finally install missed dependencies:

    sudo apt-get install -f

    Please note that codeblocks-contrib will be removed on 16.04 LTS and on 18.04 LTS because of missed libhunspell-1.4-0 dependency.

    Do not forget to install compiler such as GCC.

  2. if you apply the same steps already explained

    sudo dpkg -i 17.12.deb

    and

    sudo apt-get install -f

    But with debian testing .deb instead of debian stable, libhunspell version is in sync and all work ok, including the codeblocks-contrib package.
