You will want to enable quota processing first.

You might start here at the quotaon man page.

I had the same problem when I was doing a home work on quota -v. Since I didn't want to setup quota limits on my ubuntu machine at home, I simply used the school's machine. If your school have a UNIX system, you should try login to it with your username and password and type in quota -v. That’s how I got my project done, since I wasn’t really good at UNIX.
