    Hello and Welcome!

    I've not used Debian proper, just several derivatives of it.
    As far as the permissions error, though, you should just need to enter the root password for authentication.
    You should be able to do this with a GUI package Manager, or from the terminal.
    That brings us to copy and paste in terminal. Most of the terminals that I've used can copy-paste with Ctrl+Shift+c and Ctrl+Shift+v, respectively.
