ec2-user won't have a password but you can run commands with sudo
.
On mac ec2 instances, i run all xcodes commands with sudo and haven't had an issue
sudo xcodes install --latest --experimental-unxip
Which steps does --no-superuser skip? Are they important?
Even with a user account that has full passwordless sudo privileges, and is in the admin group, it asks for a password. What does it require a password for then?
Is running xcodes with sudo
a valid option? Perhaps even the recommended one. If the script always attempts to do something as the root account.
Could these be added in the docs? If too detailed for the README file (perhaps it is) create a new docs/faqs.md or additional_notes.md file.
I am running
xcodes install --latest --experimental-unxip --empty-trash
asec2-user
on a mac2.metal ec2 instance.There is no password for the user, but it is able to sudo. However, it is prompting for the password anyway. Can xcodes detect and not prompt for password?
As a workaround, I am running
sudo su
and becoming root and thenxcodes install --latest --experimental-unxip --empty-trash
. Hopefully that works.If not, I will try the
--no-superuser
flag. Not sure what becoming root actually sets up.
