sudo apt install in github action

In one of the project I work on, I use graphviz for visualization and have test code for this functionality.

But to test the code graphviz must be installed. I setup CI as the github action. But I couldn't manage to install graphviz as the github action.

We have the following yml

name: test
on: push
 开发者_高级运维 
jobs:
  test_coverage:
    name: Test Software
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      # See: https://github.com/actions/checkout
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Setup Graphviz
        run: |
          sudo apt-get -y install graphviz

But it fails with

sudo: a terminal is required to read the password; either use the -S option to read from standard input or configure an askpass helper

I am using Github Enterprise, if this means anything. How can I fix such an issue? Thanks.

Check first which users is executing that command:

run: |
  id -a
  sudo apt-get -y install graphviz

Said user is probably not added to the sudoers.
Yet, the GitHub Actions documentation mentions:

The Linux and macOS virtual machines both run using passwordless sudo. When you need to execute commands or install tools that require more privileges than the current user, you can use sudo without needing to provide a password.
For more information, see the "Sudo Manual."

Check if this works better with:

runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
# or
runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
