FreeBSD Install sudo Command To Execute Commands

To install sudo on a FreeBSD system, follow these steps:

  1. Run the following command as the root user to update the package database:
# pkg update
  1. Install the sudo package:
# pkg install sudo
  1. To configure sudo, you will need to edit the /usr/local/etc/sudoers file. Use the visudo command to edit this file:
# visudo
  1. In the sudoers file, add the following line to give the desired user permission to execute commands with sudo:
user_name ALL=(ALL) ALL

Replace user_name with the actual name of the user.

  1. Save and close the sudoers file.

Now the specified user can execute commands with sudo.
