I am on a web page.
On it is instructions for adding vlc to my computer.
How may I copy this set of terminal commands in to terminal?

Depends on the browser-settings and the terminal. In the standard
configuration, you *should* be able to select the command in the
browser and middle-click your mouse in the terminal to paste the
command. This uses the X "selection" buffer.
Alternatively, you can select the text in the browser and copy it
(using either Edit→Copy or control+C), but then you have to know
your terminal on how to paste from the X "clipboard" buffer (as
opposed to the aforementioned "selection" buffer). If you have
access to menus such as in Gnome terminal, you can use Edit→Paste
which likely also has a shortcut key combination. If not, it's a
little more challenging in a terminal like xterm, rxvt, or st/stterm
(the suckless terminal).
As a side note, I like to use a clipboard manager (I use "clipit") to
simplify this. (smile)

Yes, the package is named "clipit" in most package managers. I run
Debian so it would be "apt-get install clipit" but it should
translate into whatever package-manager you use.

Hi!
If you’re usin g orca you could shift arrow through the command and select it that way.
Than ctrl c to copy it.
In the terminal i use to press shift ctrl v which normally should work.
Hope this helps.
