Hi Mahasen,

right now we do not provide a deb package for Rapidminer. However, you can download the zip version of RapidMiner here

http://sourceforge.net/projects/yale/files/

Then unzip it and open a shell and switch to the location of the zip content:

1. Make sure you have Java installed. RapidMiner runs on Java 6.0
  (aka 1.6) or higher. Type "java -version" on the command line to
  figure out your Java version. A Java Runtime Environment can
  be downloaded from http://java.sun.com/
  Make sure your JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to point to
  the correct location (i.e. the installation directory of Java).

2. You can start RapidMiner using the executable jar file
  lib/rapidminer.jar. On some operating systems, double clicking
  on lib/rapidminer.jar starts RapidMiner.
  If that does not work, you can try typing something like
      java -jar lib/rapidminer.jar
  If that does not work, you can use the start scripts in the
  scripts directory. On a MS Windows system use
  scripts\rapidminer.bat and scripts\RapidMinerGUI.bat,
  on a Unix system use scripts/rapidminer and scripts/RapidMinerGUI.
 
  Please note that you might have to set the executable flags on
  Unix systems for these scripts before you can use them.

  (Optional) If you want to run RapidMiner from anywhere on your
  system, add the scripts directory to your path.
