Re: Not sure about Office?
Many others have said or will likely will say it but sudo is not an install command. It is a command used to prefix another command and so gain higher level privileges than available from a normal user account. So, for a normal user wanting to install say firefox from the command line (and why not?) the command would be
"sudo apt-get install firefox"
Job done. Having said that, - again as others may point out - most normal users wanting to install Linux software would probably:
a.) use the software centre - aka the app store or, if feeling adventurous
b.) use something like synaptic package manager
c.) use the command line - particularly if following advice as most people tend to give the text which can be easily copied and pasted from a website page in to the terminal and is almost guaranteed to work.
Of course, unless their administrator had given them the necessary privileges, then they are not going to be installing new software anyway.
The funny thing is I know this yet I am not an IT professional - my profession is engineering.
