Hi.

I have just installed Debian.

I get this when I want to install:

erik@debian:~$ sudo apt-get install pico
Password:
erik is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.

How can I get rid of that problem ?


As root, run "visudo"; add "erik" to the file; you can simply duplicate the line for "root", although that might be a bit too "open" technically.

Then log erik out and log back in as erik. (Actually, I'm not sure the log out/in is necessary. Now that I think about it, I don't think so.)
