Sudo access from IDE App terminal

[srsps]

I am new to cntrlx. I was trying to access sudo from IDE app terminal to install some packages. But I get a permission denied messege. I enabled permission in the virtual core for the user. please comment on this

Hi srsps,

even if sudo would work, you endup just in the sandbox of the IDE app, so you would not have sudo access to the system.

This is only possible with a root user assertion.

I am currently logged in as a system-user(rexroot). I assumed it would have root privilages. Could you help me with a sample code for root user assertion. I am not very proficient in linux systems.

Hi,

rexroot in a virtual core is already a root user, but you have to login via ssh client, eg. putty or mobaXterm, to have full sudo root access.

As mentioned above, via the IDE app you just end up in the sandbox of the IDE app.
