Run command as common user with sudo privileges

I'm new at linux and I'm trying to run this command as sudo:

sudo python script.py

Te command contains relative path to home, but I'm getting /root/ as the home folder instead /home/My_User/

Is there a way to run the script with sudo privileges without being promoted to root as user?

Solution

  • You can use

    sudo -E python script.py

    to gain the elevated privileges but retain your user environment.
