if i litterly type it in it says:

-bash: /etc/hosts: Permission denied

Ah OK, sorry about that. Those are files which you need to edit.

You can use the nano editor, which is relatively simple and shows some instructions about how to save the file.

For example:

nano /etc/hosts

CTRL+X is exit which asks for save then
CTRL+O would be plain save

(the ^ in consoles means normally CTRL key)
