  • Install what program? you need to tell it a package name Mar 24, 2016 at 18:09
  • you missed the name of the program to install. For example, "sudo apt-get install gedit" will install the program called "gedit". :) If you provide us with the name of the software you want to install we might help you a little bit more. (why the negatives votes? this is just a super newbie question, don't penalize it!)

You haven't provided any software name. Without knowing what to install, the terminal will only read the package lists from the software center but do nothing.

In order to install a program, you have to mention its name:-

sudo apt-get install software_name

This will direct the terminal to to download the desired software from the software center (you'll need internet for this) and after downloading, intall the same.
