acme.sh "It seems that you are using sudo, please read this page first"

Hi, anyone got this error message "It seems that you are using sudo, please read this page first" even not using sudo?

I raised this question on acme.sh's issues: https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/issues/6400

Maybe it warns you because you are running it as root? I don't know much about that thing called acme.

I'm running as a normal user, not root. But on other servers I was able to run on any user, including root. In fact, here sudo isn't even installed.

Hmm. Maybe try using the force argument/flag? As far as I understand that the code below checks if force flag is used, if not, warn the user, else, it should work fine i guess.

  if [ "${_CMD}" != "install" ]; then
    if [ "$__INTERACTIVE" ] && ! _checkSudo; then
      if [ -z "$FORCE" ]; then
        #Use "echo" here, instead of _info. it's too early
        echo "It seems that you are using sudo, please read this page first:"
        echo "$_SUDO_WIKI"
        return 1
      fi
    fi

Temporary solution:

unset SUDO_COMMAND SUDO_USER SUDO_UID SUDO_GID

Then run ./acme.sh.
