When you carry out a net install (or any installation, in fact) if you
decline to provide a root password then sudo is automatically installed
and configured for you, with the first user you create able to become
root with sudo.

This is all explained in the installer at the root password stage-
there is no need to install sudo manually post-installation.

If you want sudo, just don't provide a root password in the
installation.
