Explanation

Installing software on Linux typically requires elevated (root-level) privileges. The sudo command (superuser do) allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser, which is required to write to system directories during installation. pwd (print working directory) and ls (list directory contents) are navigation/informational commands. su switches the active user account but is a less controlled approach than sudo. sfc (System File Checker) is a Windows utility and does not exist on Linux. sudo apt install <package> or similar is the standard way to install applications on Linux.
