Superuser is UNIX jargon for root user. In other words, you must execute these commands with administrative privileges. You do that by prefixing a sudo command before the command you would like to execute. For example,

sudo reboot

You will be asked for your password, and (as long as you are an administrative user) the command will execute as root. Enter man sudo for much more info.
