Hello!
You enter the first line, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio first.
You see, the first time you use sudo after opening a terminal, it asks you for the root password, because sudo requires root access. This is pretty much the same thing as Windows requesting that you be an administrator to add programs.
At the prompt, enter your root password, then press ENTER.
NOTE: When entering the root password, you will NOT see any '*' characters or any of the root password characters echoed back to you. Rest assured - they're sent when you type them.
After that, you'll see some info about the repository, and then it will prompt you to press ENTER to add the repository, or to press CTRL-C to cancel your request. To add the repository, press ENTER. It may take a few seconds to finish executing the command.
After that, you can either type or copy/paste the second and third commands, 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install netflix- desktop'. The '&&' characters are used to enter the last two commands as one. In other words,
and
both mean the same thing.
Just let us know if you need any additional help...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
