It means that you're trying to execute a command which requires root
privileges. Depending on your distribution, you may want to look at...
$ man su
... and/or...
$ man sudo
In the latter case — Ubuntu, Mint and derivatives disable the use of
/bin/su for obtaining root privileges ─ you may also want to read...
$ man sudoers
You can exit the man page viewer ─ commonly, this is /usr/bin/less ─ by
pressing "q". You can page up and down through the man page with the
arrow keys and/or PgUp/PgDn. You can search for strings by typing "/"
followed by a keyword, and you can get navigational help by pressing
"?".
