I find it better to say "Run the following command with administrative
privileges:" (or root or superuser privileges). Anyone who doesn't know
what it means likely can't debug the issue anyway.

The second approach I do (and probably even prefer to the above, because it
is more explicit) is to prefix all such commands with sudo. Then it is
clear that you need to run them as root. And if you run them verbatim under
root directly (including sudo), there's no harm.

"su -" and "sudo -i". Wipe everything else from your memory, people :-)

Yes, that's reasonable.
