===sudo===
By default, a Linux user will log in as a default user with limited rights.
For example, the Raspberry Pi Operating System has a single default user "Pi", with their home folder that can be referenced as "~".
In the '''apt''' context here, '''sudo''' is needed for any action involving writing (such as '''install''', ''full-upgrade'', '''update''', ''autoremove''), but not for actions that just read (such as '''search''', ''show''). ▼
In the '''apt''' context here, those limited rights allow use of actions that just read (such as '''search''', ''show'').

: Elsewhere on this page you might notice [[#Running any MX executable with a terminal session left open|'''cd''']] can move round the file structure (without a "sudo"), but "sudo" is used with [[# Installing/Configuring the MX service and the -service parameter|'''cp''']] as that writes a file.
: '''For technical readers only''', "sudo" is further explained later [[#su_and_sudo]]).
