I'm trying to run 'sudo apt-get install mono-complete monodevelop' in
a terminal shell so I can a SDR dongle working under linux. I am
trying to follow the commands from 'rtlsdr.org/softwarelinux.
If I run them under a root terminal it seems to work without asking
for my password.
I think all this should be done as a user not as a superuser since I
as the user want to play around with this dongle.
How do I add 'user' to the sudoers file so it doesn't complain all the
time.
I am not a command line guru -- I don't have a great understanding of
all the commands so I need some direction.
Thanks in advance

Thank you all very much for the info. I'll give the suggestions a try
after work tomorrow and see what happens.
