How to Fix: sudo Command Not Found Error
|
|||
|
|
======
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Here’s how you can fix the “sudo command not found” error in Debian, Ubuntu and other distros.**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Sometimes, when you set up or install [Linux distributions][1] for the first time, you get the “sudo command not found” error while trying some commands with sudo.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The sudo command is an abbreviation of “superuser do”, and it is a program which allows a user to execute a command with admin privileges. The sudo command helps you run programs/commands like an admin user.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Also, the user, who is running the command with sudo must be a part of the sudo group.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The primary reason you get this error is that the package itself is not installed. However, most modern Linux distribution provides this by default, but some don’t.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Here are the steps you should follow to fix it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Troubleshooting#1
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- First, install the sudo package to fix the problem. Open a terminal, refresh your system and run the following commands to install sudo.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For Ubuntu, Debian and related distros:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
su -apt updateapt install sudo
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For Arch Linux:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
pacman -S sudo
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For Fedora, RHEL, etc:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
su -dnf updatednf install sudo
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- After the above installation is complete, you have to add the user to `sudo` group using the following command
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
`usermod -aG sudo <yourusername>`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Then run the `visudo` from the terminal and the following line. Press CTRL+O and CTRL+X to save & exit.
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Log off and log in again to reflect the change.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Troubleshooting#2
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After the above change, if you are still getting the error, then follow the below steps.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Make sure your `$PATH` variable contains the proper path to the `sudo` executable. If the `sudo` is installed, but the `$PATH` is incorrect, you can also get this error. Ideally, your path should contain all the below paths.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
echo $PATH
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To change the path variable, use the following command. For example, if the `/usr/bin` is not present, then you can add it via below
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Then log out and log in to see the effect.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
