why does it keep saying permision denied in my ubuntu virtual box machine when I am the only one using it

tt flag

I am trying to run geant4 on my ubuntu virtual machine however it does not want to cooperate. everything I do goes wrong. the Cmake compilation doesn't work even when I open the terminal from the file itself it says the directory doesn't have so and so file when the directory does have so and so file. the when I want to create a folder using the mkdir command it says permission denied when I am the one who created the virtual machine who do I need to get permission from. I am not familiar with ubuntu or linux in general, I have always been a windows user and this is my first exposure to linux. please I need someone to help me through this every tutorial I use seems the get me entangled deeper into this web of confusion.

Where are you trying to create a new directory? Can you paste the output along with the Ubuntu version you're using?

Some apps and commands require you to be root.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
