moving files into /usr/includes/

[Fix3r]

I need to move some files into /usr/includes but when I try to it says I don't have permission. How do I gain permission? Or what would I type in the terminal to move the files using root..noob questions sorry.

You need to be root to be able to do this...sudo su will let you do that. Just curious, what are you trying to move?

Thank you, and I am moving header files.

EDIT: What is the command to move the files?

You can use the "mv" command:

Look for examples at the bottom of the page.

Open a terminal, then sudo su, enter your password, then switch to the directory where the file you want to copy is located, and type the following command:

cp file /usr/include/

simple enough.....
