Going assumption some form of debian is being run. Could be ubuntu vinux or debian. A file /etc/apt/sources.list should be found on your system. If you installed linux without connecting to the internet entirely from disks then no internet repository got selected for you to use for installation of packages or updates to packages. In terminal, you might try running which select-mirror to see if it's on your system and if so, run select-mirror and answer questions and you'll be able to have your system update that /etc/apt/sources.list file correctly for you. Then try that build command again and it should not complain about that error again.
