Ubuntu Sudo Command: Purpose & Usage

The sudo command is a command used to elevate the current user’s privileges. Normally, users only have regular permissions and cannot perform certain operations that require higher privileges, such as modifying system configurations or installing software. By using the sudo command, users can temporarily elevate their permissions to have superuser (root) privileges, allowing them to carry out operations that require higher privileges. The sudo command requires the user to enter a password for identity verification, ensuring that only authorized users can perform relevant operations.
