No, you can do it. The Terminal program is in the Applications/Utilities folder. Double click it to open. Copy then paste the command I posted into the Terminal window. Press Return. It will ask for your user password, type it in then hit Return. Then you can quit the Terminal. Then reopen System Preferences > Software Update.


If you have any problem, ask.
