You must have sudo installed.  Then, you must be listed in the sudoers 
file,
which you can edit using visudo. (You will have to be root to edit the 
file.)
You should find a working version and copy the part that includes the user.
Once you have that all set up, the usage is:

sudo <command>    (without the <>)
Password:

enter your password at the prompt, and enter, and you will
be superuser for that command.
