gimp 2.8 install problem on ubuntu 14.04

Question

In a terminal,i wrote this command:

apt-get install gimp

And it returns with this output:

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?

I'm new to ubuntu and been using ubuntu 1 week.

thank you. adding "sudo" before the "apt-get" command now gimp is downloading. — arshad, Nov 26 '14 at 23:48

Test this:

Open a terminal,

Press Ctrl+Alt+T

And run:

sudo -i
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install gimp
apt-get clean
