Hardcoded 'sudo' #19

Currently, for windows and *nix, sudo is hardcoded.

This is a code smell because

  • it gives access to root for any application that runs after this on the terminal
  • permission request can be escalated on failure with a non-root access
  • udev rules can eliminate requirement of sudo on several platforms
  • it requires any application that uses this code to be launched with sudo for a non-interactive use which is not always possible
