Asked By TechyExplorer42 On

I just installed Artix with a friend's help, but I'm running into an issue where pacman won't let me proceed due to insufficient permissions. I forgot to set myself as a sudoer during the installation. Can anyone guide me on how to do this?

Before you add yourself as a sudoer, make sure you have sudo installed. If you can't use pacman at all, you might need to switch to root first and run the install commands from there.

You’ll want to start by editing the sudoers file. First, switch to the root user with `su -`, then run `pacman -S sudo vim`. Next, you can add your user to the sudoers group by running `usermod -G wheel `. After that, open visudo and uncomment the line related to the wheel group. Happy to guide you further if you run into any bumps!
