Arrow Locked out of my terminal installer
When I install a program from terminal it throws the following code

Code:
chance@CallahanMain:~$ apt-get install apatche2
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?
chance@CallahanMain:~$
I am an adminisrator on this computer. System Info and a Pic of the terminal.

Try prefixing the command with sudo e.g.
Code:
sudo apt-get install apache2
