Okay, so I don't really understand why we let debian-accessibility be a
user support list, unlike all the other lists besides debian-user.
But we do.
Someone reached out and expressed what for them is a serious blocking
problem in a forum where their question is as far as I can tell
appropriate.

And you took the time to rant about the installer, but not to actually
spend the 30 seconds helping them?
(Even if you don't remember su, I am sure you are experienced enough to
look it up in under a minute.)
Glenn, I believe what you are lookin for is:

su - -c 'apt install orca'



After you get orca, install sudo, and then as root:

adduser username sudo

Where username is your username
