You might be able to run “apt” without sudo?
If you have a “virtual server”, the say "you get admin access to your virtual server”. That could mean you get su/sudo, or it could mean you can do stuff as “normal” user which usually only root can do… Just try “apt install build-essential”, it’ll tell you if you can do it or not.
There is a way to configure su-access. So if apt complains without sudo. You might be able to follow this (it’s for Ubuntu (another Distro like Debian), but that’s based on Debian and very similar, so it should work):
