    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?

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