# # Demonstration of running a Jupyter notebook with sudo rights

# ## Without sudo rights
# 
# The next cells were first ran when Jupyter was not running with sudo rights.

# In[5]:


get_ipython().system('apt update')


# In[6]:


get_ipython().system('sudo apt update')


# As we see here, using `sudo ...` asks for a password, but it doesn't work from Jupyter.

# ## With sudo rights
# The next cells were then ran when Jupyter was running with sudo rights.

# In[6]:


get_ipython().system('apt update')


# It works!

# ## Conclusion
# 
# It works!
