Question

I m trying to self host Supertokens Core but it only works if I run it as administrator on Windows I m trying to start it when I start my server via npm s package json so I would prefer not to have to run my whole project as admin How can I make sure that supertokens runs as admin on Windows and sudo on Linux I ve looked at `sudo prompt` but I m not sure how to call it from a npm script like I can call `tsc` `eslint` `cross env` or `ts node dev`

I m not sure if there is a way to solve this in a quick way other than using docker

rp · Answer

Try to run the core using the docker image and you won t require it to run as admin

I think it would probably work if you know of a utility that aliases sudo on Windows Do you know how the npm packages that I listed can run in the context of package json but not in cmd

I may eventually transition to Docker but it is too heavy for my purposes so far

Thanks anyway I might try to see if it would work with sudo on WSL

I left `sudo supertokens start ` in package json and it just works now
