Hi, could you please remove `sudo` from install\_cvb and uninstall\_cvb shell scripts? This creates a huge incovenience when using containerized environment since containers don’t have sudo by default and usually don’t even need it.

Removing sudo before commands and instead using something like:

```auto
if test $? != 0
then
    echo "[ERROR] Please run this file with sudo"
    exit 1
fi

```

Would improve the install file usability in different environments.

Removing sudo within shell script and running the whole script with sudo (i.e. `sudo ./install_cvb.sh`) still gives the script root permissions so everything can be installed properly if sudo is needed
