Set up a new Linux virtual machine & my account:

Bootstrap: sudo and set environment variables for my editor

Manually add to ~/.profile and /root/.profile

export EDITOR=vi
export VISUAL=vi

No password sudo: add to the bottom of /etc/sudoers

$(id $USER>&/dev/null) || echo "The account $USER does not exist."
SUDOCMD=${SUDOCMD-"sudo EDITOR='tee -a' visudo"}
echo "$USER ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL" | $SUDOCMD
echo "$USER ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" | $SUDOCMD
