sudo: command not found
I'm new to this. I'm trying to install apache2 on an Ubuntu 15.04 server.
Running as root.
But when giving the command:
$ sudo apt-get install apache2
-bash: sudo: command not found
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

@Rinzwind - I have a question. OP says that he is running as root right? So, he can use apt-get install sudo to install it, can't he?

@muru Yes, whoami outputs root. The other returns; N: Unable to locate package sudo. So I guess it isn't installed yet. Going to look into that now. As I said, I'm new to this.

As you are root you shouldn't need sudo to run the command. Try running the commands without sudo as in apt-get install apache2 for example.
