Is it SSH via shared hosting? If so, sudo isn't available. But if it's a VPS, you can switch to the root account and install sudo. The command is variant, depending on the Linux distro you're using.

what is your distro?
install sudo or doas

BetaRacks

Maybe you should try su

If you are in webhosting ssh, you don't need to use sudo

You can get a compser.phar by doing the following

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === '55ce33d7678c5a611085589f1f3ddf8b3c52d662cd01d4ba75c0ee0459970c2200a51f492d557530c71c15d8dba01eae') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

Then run php composer.phar install

Nah, that's not a problem. Ask support for the root password, use the su command, install sudo, and add your user to the sudo group.

Also ask for custom iso

Never. I leave root disabled and have been doing it for a very long time. I use sudo. For system management and configuration, I run sudo from an admin account and avoid the root account after that. The admin account is used only for system maintenance and management. Remote SSH and the regular personal work gets done from separate unprivileged accounts. I rarely find a Linux distro where sudo is not installed by default, but it happens. Use apt or dnf or yum or pacman or whatever to install sudo.

Some systems force you to have a root account, such as OpenVZ VPSs. For those systems, I give the root account a long strong password, create an admin account for managing the system and unprivileged accounts for SSH and regular unprivileged work. After that I use the admin account with sudo for "root" activities, block the unprivileged SSH and working accounts from sudo. I disable the root account for SSH and regular screen logins and do not use root directly again, not if I can help it.

In fairness to others and to admit my true laziness, my fingers remember and type the command "sudo su -" all too easily. In essence, I am logging in as root from the admin account anyway. It would be better if I could acquire the habit of prefixing each command with "sudo" as intended, but at least the root account is safer.

This is considered good traditional security practice, but some security experts believe that it makes little real difference. I will not argue with them, but now you know what I do and can decide if the extra effort is worth the perceived benefits.

I just turn on every security thing in sshd_config, disable root password, and use root with my ssh key

I'm way too lazy for sudo su
