How to get root password during installation

[galfly]

Hi,

I am writing a program that requires elevated root privileges to install. How can I do it in a c++ program?
Thank you

Good luck on your endeavours to find a workable solution that suits your needs.

I would suggest running the installation with the appropriate permission, e.g. with the sudo command. For more information, have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

All apps requires root priviledges to install. Just package you app as .deb and .rpm and it can be installed everywhere.
