To run the Joy-Pi software on newer Raspberry Pi OS systems, you must enable passwordless sudo. Enabling passwordless sudo allows the software—including the included projects and lessons—to run properly.

To enable passwordless sudo:

1. Open a terminal window and enter the following command:

sudo nano /etc/sudoers

2. Add the following content to the end of the file:

 ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

For the user "pi," for example, the command would look like this:

pi ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

3. Save the file using the CTRL+O shortcut, confirm with Enter, and exit the editor using the CTRL+X shortcut. Now restart the system.
