Fedora :the user not in sudoers list Error

In Linux / Fedora user need permission to perform particular functions, such installing packages and removing packages.

The “user not in sudoers list” occurs because of the current user don’t have sudo permission.

Add user to Wheel group

The wheel group is meant for sudo users, a user can be added to this group using the usermod command or set it manually

first up all login as root user

su -

Using the terminal we can add user to the list with

usermod -a -G wheel username

Sometimes this method didn’t make it. So the manual is another option.

Add the user permissions to the sudoers file under /etc. This can be done using the following command.

visudoers -f etc/sudoers

and add the following lines to the files

username ALL = (ALL:ALL)ALL

Save the file the error will go away. This will let the user have all permission.

Please replace the username with your username.

Now try to install packages using the sudo dnf install nodejs
