Ati drivers "You need to run this installer as the super-user."

Asked by rizzle

So basically I tried updating my graphics drivers and got the update from ati's website. They gave me a .run file which wouldn't run at first, but I solved through other people's problems. Now when I run it through the terminal it says "You need to run this installer as the super-user."
Should I login as the super-user? Or is there another solution?
Thanks for your time.

use the sudo command
$ sudo 'your-command'

where 'your-command' is the thing you wnat to run.
it will ask for your password, and run the command as super user

see the man pages for more info
