The help steven gave me makes sense, except I don't know what it means.
  How do you run the command as root?

That's a Linux thing you don;t need that in Windows (usually).
There are a mix of Linux, Windows and Mac users here so you can expect to get answers based on whatever the users preference is. Usually you can translate back to your own OS, although not always. So its a good idea to remind us of your OS when you ask questions,.

When I try to run the command in the command line, I get the following
error:
C:\>easy_install SQLObject
'easy_install' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

What does that mean?

That Windows can't find an executable program called easy_install,
You probably need to navigate to the folder containing it and run it from there.

You might like to find a basic tutorial on the Windows command prompt.
When programming, in any language, not just Python, you often find yourself doing things from the command prompt rather than the GUI.

There is one such here:
