How to make the system/app/ folder writable?

---

I tried to install apps in the terminal emulator, but I got a message like "the folder is only readable" or something like that. Is there anyway to make the system/app/ folder writable? Thanks.

type "remount"
if you're using adb, type "adb remount"

Are you rooted?

You need a rooted ROM to be able to write to /system...
