The easiest way is to remove password prompting while building. That does compromise security somewhat though. You can also try to run the script as root, then `sudo` becomes a no-op. The building uses a chroot, which is why root access is necessary. > Also does anyone have recommendations for web storage services that > would work well with hosting my build of HABS packages?
