Occasionally it is possible when making changes with the “root” account to mess up permissions in macOS for “sudo”

‍
When this occurs if you attempt to use the “sudo” command inside of terminal you may experience the error message:
"/usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set"

If you have encountered this error it is very likely that you already have access to the root account however if for some reason you do not you can read the following article here:(How To Enable Root in macOS) to learn how to enable the “root” account.

‍
After the root account is enabled…

‍
Log out as the current user, then log back in as root.

‍
Execute the following in terminal:

chown root:root /usr/bin/sudo && chmod 4755 /usr/bin/sudo

‍

‍
Log out as root, then log back in as the current user.

After this try sudo again and you should be successful.
