File Permission Errors

[TWPEagle]

Ok, So I am trying to install McMyAdmin, I am running the gui version of Ubuntu.
Here are the instructions provided by the dev. of mcmyadmin

• Download the McMyAdmin 2 Updater/Loader from http://mcmyadmin.com/Downloads/MCMA2_glibc25.zip and unpack it where you wish to install McMyAdmin.
• Download the McMyAdmin 2 supplemental files from http://mcmyadmin.com/Downloads/etc.zip - copy the archive into /usr/local and unpack it there.
• Run the MCMA2_Linux_x86_64 binary via the command line or SSH. (Enter ./MCMA2_Linux_x86_64 in the directory you unpacked it)

The issue I am having is extracting the zip files anywhere.
Trying to put the First one in var/mcmyadmin
and
The second on in /usr/local
And i get an error stating I dont have the required permissions to extract an archive there?
Please help!

yeah you should have to be a root to do so .

you have two ways 1 .terminal
2. gui

1 .TERMINAL

sudo cp <source from where you are copying> <to your where you are copying>

2.GUI
open your terminal

sudo nautilus

then do as you want to do .
