Execute file error

[N4RPS]

Hello!

Heebma, did you 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?

You probably did, because I did, also. You got this error because of a syntax error:

Code:

$ sudo apt-get update && apt-get install popcorn-time -y

.

The correct syntax is as follows:

Code:

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install popcorn-time -y

.

Change this, and LL-user's reply SHOULD work for you.

Unless you're in a root terminal ('#' instead of' '$'), when concatenating sudo commands, both commands must start with sudo.

(The usage of root terminals is discouraged. It makes it much easier to inflict catastrophic ignorance upon your own system.)

No offense intended to anyone, but it is what it is...
