How to fix "username is not in the sudoers file" in debian

Hello fellow coders Recently I installed Debian-9 in my old laptop and tried to execute sudo command and I got above error saying that action will be reported. So today in this short post, I am going to tell you how to fix this problem. First, open your terminal and put su - Enter your password and then just type visudo This will openup a file with nano editor and it has few values, do not change any of them, just go to the line root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL and below it add a new line myuser ALL=(ALL) ALL save the file and then try to execute commands with sudo.. I hope this short post will save you a lots of times, in next blog I will bring you what are the meanings of these lines. Also a good Golang tutorial comming soon. Good Luck
