Newbie here. I had to install adobe flash plugin and add it to firefox. I followed instructions of a youtube video and did that successfully. In one of the step it asked me to enter the command:

sudo nautlius.

I was wondering what does this particular step does and where else can I use it again?

nautilus is a file manager in Ubuntu.

sudo is declaring that you are a root (it is something like an adminstrator in Windows).

So, when you type the command sudo nautilus , you are entering the file manager as a root. Being root gives you some extra abilities that normal user doesn't have.
