Thank you. It is also the reason for what I didn't find the command" $chmod" in any place.

Remove the '$' from the command.
People answering questions on mailing lists (and other online documentation) will often give commands that need to be run. Sometimes these instructions will show a typical shell prompt too. So, for instance, an instruction to run the command "chmod 664 /dev/hdc" will often be written as:
$ chmod 664 /dev/hdc
The "$" here is supposed to indicate the shell prompt. You might also find people writing this as "#" to indicate a command that should be run as the root user:
# chmod 664 /dev/hdc
In your case your shell prompt (for the root user) appears to be "[root@localhost ~]#" but this will vary from system to system, which is why the shorthand "$" or "#" is usually shown instead.
