Using sudo with password for node-js.

sudo-js by default has support for windows, linux and osx. But the root access (UAC) in Windows is not running. This feature will be added later.

Install npm install sudo-js --save

var sudo = require('sudo-js');
sudo.setPassword('your-password');

var command = ['chmod', '0777', '/Users/didanurwanda/Downloads'];

	console.log(result);
});
