Just to add to this....the $ or # denote the type of access you have...

$ means that you have standard shell access, whereas if you see # at the
start of a command you have (or should have) root access.

Obviously in Ubuntu if you are looking for help somewhere and see a command
written as #apt-get install, you can achieve the same using $sudo apt-get
install
