Yes, it's run at the command line - you need to run it as root, so you should
either su to root or use sudo and do
$ sudo apt-cdrom add

It should then prompt you to put the cd's in the drive one at a time.

Do you have an /etc/apt/sources.list? Running the apt-cdrom add command will
populate it with lines representing the individual CD source disks.
