How to setup sudo

To enable sudo for your user you need to edit the sudoers file and add your user to the the wheel group.

First lets edit the sudoers file.

Open a terminal and type visudo then hit enter.

Now scroll down until you get to the part of the file that looks like this:

root    ALL=(ALL)       ALL

now right under

root    ALL=(ALL)       ALL

you are going to put

your-user-name    ALL=(ALL)       ALL

After you do that the file should look like this:

root    ALL=(ALL)       ALL

your-user-name    ALL=(ALL)       ALL

If you dont want to have to type in your password when you use sudo remove the "#" from in front of:

# %wheel ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: ALL

So it looks like this:

 %wheel ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: ALL

Now to exit and save the sudoers file type :wq! and hit enter.

Now to add you user to the wheel group enter:

usermod -a -G wheel your-user-name

There you go sudo is now set up
