The above line clearly says that it (dpkg) is unable to lock the dpkg
administration directory to install the package. On reading further,
'are you root?' means that administrative privilege equivalent to root
is required to install the packages. So use the same command with a
sudo to be able to install the packages or if you are using a GUI
based package management tool, run that tool with root privileges.
Thanks & Regards,
