I am writing an electron app that I need to run with admin access (like sudo).I haven't created any installer for that app.
I know that I can write sudo electron . in linux to start my app as root but what about windows?
Is there any similar command?
If you're using electron builder, you can make the build that will run with admin rights by adding this in your builder config:
win: {
requestedExecutionLevel: 'requireAdministrator',
}
If you can find the docs here
Keep in mind, if you run an app with admin rights the drag & drop feature will not work
So instead of launching the whole app with admin rights, you should create a separate child process and then run that process with admin rights
