Can't Install vcl

[dsrr47]

hey,
I'm pretty new to ubuntu and when ever i try to install vcl through the terminal using the command "apt-get install vcl" I get the message

"E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?"

Any idea what is causing this and how I can fix it.

Cheers

You need to include a sudo in front. And by the way, are you wanting to install vlc (or vcl)?


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc
