sudo nano /etc/sudoers

#2. At the end of the /etc/sudoers file add this line:

You can configure sudo to never ask for your password.

Open a Terminal window and type:

sudo visudo
In the bottom of the file, add the following line:

$USER ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
Where $USER is your username on your system. Save and close the sudoers file (if you haven't changed your default terminal editor (you'll know if you have), press Ctl + x to exit nano and it'll prompt you to save).

As of Ubuntu 19.04, the file should now look something like
