03/26/2022, 4:29 PMI'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

03/26/2022, 4:31 PMTry to run the core using the docker image and you won’t require it to run as admin

03/26/2022, 4:33 PMI 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?

03/26/2022, 4:35 PMThanks anyway. I might try to see if it would work with sudo on WSL
