I would like to install git but when I type the command: 

sudo apt-get install git

I am getting the error:

iiit is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.

The output of groups is:

iiit adm dialout cdrom dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare

  • [Edit] your question and add the output of `groups` – A.B. Nov 30 '15 at 12:21

    The problem is that you're not in the `sudo` group. Try `pkexec whoami`, and see if you can run the command. If you can, you can simply run `pkexec adduser "$USER" sudo` to fix this. Otherwise you'll have to reboot in the recovery mode and add your user to the `sudo` group from the recovery mode's root shell. – kos Nov 30 '15 at 12:52
