Please help. I accidentally powered off my computer during an update and now I can’t update without doing some kind of extra step. I know nothing about Linux, I have no business owning this computer. It says I have to manually run something, but when I try to run that thing it says I require superuser privilege. How do I get superuser privilege? And once I acquire said privilege, will this fix my update issue? Thank you all.

Prepend sudo to the command:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
Yes.

… noting that it will then prompt you for your own password (not echoing the password on the screen as you type).
