+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.
+
+### Wrapping Up
+
+I hope this guide helps you to fix the sudo error in your Linux distros. The apparent solution is quite simple, really.
+
+Drop a note below if it helps/or if you have any questions.
