​I don't think all Linux distro's have the adduser script.  The above is
fine for Ubuntu and it's derivatives and also Debian if the sudoers file is
configured like Ubuntu's.  Otherwise just "adduser username dialout" at a
root prompt in Debian.

For flavors of Linux that don't have adduser...
sudo useradd -G dialout username
(or useradd -G dialout username at a
​ ​
root prompt if the
​installation is not set up to use s
udo).
