Hi,

Sorry... I just remembered you are very new to Lubuntu...
You need to open a terminal from your menu (it is in applications)
Copy and paste the command (Shift+Ctrl+V pastes in the terminal, though 
you can simply use the right click menu)
then push enter, and type in your password.
You can read the page to find out the same information if you like :D

You can also search out those packages in the Lubuntu Software center or 
Synaptic package manager (I don't remember if that is still installed by 
default... I always have it)
