Is it part of the repository? If so, are dependencies being installed too? Maybe try using synaptic package manager (gui for apt on mint/ubuntu). It may not be as cool as using the terminal, but it's far easier to use for normal desktop users.

Also, not to state the obvious, but adding a non-admin user to the sudo group essentially gives them admin privileges, which can be a security risk (kind of defeats the purpose of having non-admin accounts). Use at your own risk I guess. From the sounds of it though, you're already using an admin account, so you're probably already part of the sudo group.
