11I have followed your answer, and it is the most forward way to install Mobile Partner, however, I would advise against it. It is full of bugs and compromises the security of your system. The most important one is that it adds `ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL` to your `sudoers` file which allows to run all sudo commands without password! – Gerhard Burger Aug 02 '13 at 07:47

2I couldn't agree with you more... It's a security threat. – Naveen Oct 01 '13 at 06:42

Don't know why does it need to add the line `ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL` to the `sudoers` file. I needed to manually edit that file afterwards to make `sudo` command accept password. – Puspam May 29 '20 at 17:44
