Windows

Windows can t be automated using this software as it will throw an UAC query.

The user must then click yes / no.

If you d like to automate a process under windows that requires administrator privileges,

please check

runas /profile /USERNAME:Administrator WHATVEVER.cmd

And https://github.com/feross/hostile

Note also that because of the clunky nature of the solution to trigger UAC, it is not possible to get standard input / output feed from rooted process.

This means it is not possible to provide user feedback about command completion success or failure. : /

Linux

Please run the command with sudo.

Tests

There are no tests as i don t know how to do with that UAC stuff.
