I had made a search in Google and found “sudo” is some kind of software and had download it but had not install. I am using Utunbu as OS on my PC. Please help! Thanks very much! sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core cvs subversion diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib build-essential chrpath
Is all you NEED to invoke sudo, and you may need to enter a password for root access ETC. You just add it to the beginning of an instruction to execute within terminal.
Hi DaveLembke, very sorry for the late reply as the forum didn't send me any notification. Thanks very much! In Ubuntu you can't really LOG in as root access to you have to use a command like sudo first to temporarily allow root level access. Sometimes you can just do sudo and your password when PROMPTED and have access until you close the terminal, others require you to enter sudo EVERY time. This is there to keep you safe from accidentally deleting linux while farting around.
Sudo isn't a software and you shouldn't have had to download it. Especially in Ubuntu.
