What is sudo?

'Sudo' is a keyword used whenever we wish to do perform a task that is of critical nature. Operating System in Linux has this mechanism to execute a program with elevated privileges. It therefore prevents the hassle of change the account each time you need an elevated privilege.

Here is why you should not login with your admin/root account.

Sudo is the magic word without which life of every Linux guy is incomplete but for hybrid guys(using both Windows and Linux) it is an enormous amount of pain when you are working on cmd and you don't have sudo. Its time to empower yourself, here are the steps-

STEP 1: Download Sudowin from here.The program requires .NET version 2.0, which you can’t download individually. In order to get 2.0, you have to install .NET Framework 3.5, which include 2.0.

STEP 2: Goto Start -> Run -> lusrmgr.msc. You will get this window -

STEP 3: Click on Groups, you will get an entry named Sudoers over there, Double-Click it

STEP 4: Click on Add, then hit Advanced on the next window.

STEP 5: Tap on Find Now, it will list you all the users, Select the users whom you want to give the sudo access. Next click on OK and the job is done.

Yeah! it was just a 5 step process that takes less than 2 mins to implement and saves you from the whole life "Run as Admin" torture.

Feel free to comment or ask any queries that you may have.
In case you want us to write a tutorial or a video lesson on something that you found tedious to imbibe, do let us know, we would love to simplify that.

Enjoy your day!
