Don't do "sudo" in scripts #420

Open pkoning2 opened 1 month ago

pkoning2 commented 1 month ago

Some script, such as .travis/deps.sh (updated in https://github.com/open-simh/simh/pull/404/) have "sudo" commands in them. While that works, it seems undesirable from a safety point of view to use that command in a script. If privilege is needed for certain actions, let the user do sudo explicitly rather than us doing it under the covers.
