Its really frustrating to run sudo commands in terminal , since you need to provide password of the respective user for command execution. In this post we will be quickly discussing how to run sudo command without password.

Quick way to run sudo command without password

Step1: Check current user on the terminal using below command:

manmohan@ubuntu:~$ whoami
manmohan
manmohan@ubuntu:~$

In my case we need to configure for manmohan user so that, we can able to run sudo command without password ubuntu.

Step2: Edit the sudo’eres configuration.

Now we need to change sudo configuration.

Your terminal will look like this:

Step 3: Save the file.
