doas

doas can be installed with

sudo apt install doas

After this, a config file must be createdcreated, optionally after installing vim with

sudo apt install vim

sudo vim /etc/doas.conf

The content of the config file should then be set to

permit setenv {PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin} :wheel

The config file MUST end with an empty line. Additionally, "permit" can be followed by "persist" to allow for doas to have a period of time where the password must not be entered for new commands, after it has been used with a password initially.
