When I run Linux applications as non root user I often encounter permission denied message when trying to write to certain folder owned by root. How do I switch to root user when running these applications, (I mean like appending 'sudo' before actual command) ?
What are you trying to do? Why do you need to access the root folder? If it is administrative work, then yes.
First run "visudo" and configure it to allow members of group "wheel" to use sudo. Also make yourself a member of the "wheel" group.
If these are normal programs, then use your home directory. That is what it is for.
