You're not allowed to install programs if you log in to a server remotely or in a internet café environment, no wonder you're kicked out...
Ask the admin to install it for you and if he doesn't, too bad...

If you are the admin of that server, why are you kicked from it, who reverts those changes and why do you have to clear the logs?
That does not make sense at all.
If you are already root, as you have stated earlier, you don't need to use sudo. So the (corrected) command should be
Code:
apt-get install rkhunter
wget is already installed. In an earlier post you stated that you want to use Rk-Rootkit, not rkhunter. There is no such package in the Ubuntu repositories, so if that is what you want to install the apt-get command won't work.

yes i root man i install it now i don`t know how to unzip/unpack it any ideas thanks for being here and helping me can you tell more about rkhunter pls.
If you have installed rkhunter (a security tool for Linux, http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net/) with apt-get there is no need to unpack anything, apt-get will download and install it automatically.
I still don't get why you are kicked out of your own server and why you have to clear the logs.
