i ran
#apt-get install wireshark but i get this error,

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?

i am not a seasoned linux user so i'm not quite sure what to do here, is it because i didn't install GTK+ or GLIB first?
