System Integrity Protection (SIP)

sudo nvram "recovery-boot-mode=unused"
sudo reboot recovery

Open Terminal and run:

# Disable SIP
csrutil disable

# Enable SIP
csrutil enable

Sudo

To prevent sudo from asking for your password after time, you could add this to your sudoers file.

%admin  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

The sudoers file is no longer handled by macosetup!

Full Disk Access

To avoid errors and permission problems, Terminal/iTerm needs Full Disk Access.
