I was looking at an Apple support page, and it says "When you're logged in to your Mac using an administrator account, you can use the sudo command in the Terminal app to execute commands as a different user, such as the root user." (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202035). I am logged in as administrator. So why isn't sudo working for me?

The link is above, in the first paragraph, beginning with the words
"Just one more thing, Cameron."

Live means live. It is not a word I created. It means that the link
has been activated, so clicking on it will take you to the associated
page. Here is a definition from www.yourdictionary.com/live-link.
"Live Link - Computer Definition: An active text or graphic link on a
Web page. Clicking the link redirects the user to another Web page or
a document or image." The link to the definition I just copied into
this paragraph is not live because clicking on it will not do
anything.

This question became moot when I posted my message, because that
action activated the link. That is why I asked in my next post how one
can edit one's own messages, because  at that point I would have
deleted this post.

Thanks,

Tamara
