when I entered the "sudo apt-get update", there was the result: "Command 'sudo' is available in '/usr/bin/sudo' The command could not be located because '/usr/bin/' is not included in the PATH environment variable. sudo: command not found " And idea? Thanks a lot!

Commands like sudo are not recognized in command prompt but they are recognized in Linux/Unix Kernel Terminals with OS's such as MAC OSX and Ubuntu, Mint, ect. When Following with the lessons use the virtual console provided. It imitates the Linux console so the commands can be recognized.
