I am going to install nagios core in another linux machine for which I don't have root access. Is "sudo" access enough to install and configure nagios?

Would they allow you to su to root at all? I have not personally tested this, with Nagios XI this is a no go, but I'm not completely sure with Core. You can give it a shot and let us know if you run into issues. Just a heads up, if you do run into issues we likely won't be able to support you on this if you cannot gain true root access. As a prerequisite it is clearly stated:
During portions of the installation you'll need to have root access to your machine.

sudo -s with the password works in Ubuntu.
