Here’s how you can append text to a file when using the sudo command on Linux or Unix:

  1. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory containing the file you want to append text to.
  2. Use the following command to open the file with the sudo privilege:
sudo nano /path/to/file
  1. Replace /path/to/file with the path to the file you want to append text to.
  2. In the Nano text editor, move the cursor to the end of the file.
  3. Type the text you want to append to the file.
  4. Save the changes and exit Nano by pressing CTRL + X, then Y, then Enter.

The text you added will be appended to the end of the file. You can verify this by opening the file again and checking its contents.
