The scripts will use sudo if the RUNNER_USER does not match the user
currently running the script. When building from src the RUNNER_USER
variable is left blank. Packaged builds of Riak set this variable to "riak".
You can modify the packaged installed scripts to set this variable to a
different u
are you installing it from src? because I run it as a non-root user and it
never requested sudo

My question is not about installing it as root, but running it as root.
The "riak start" script immediately tries to do a sudo. Why is this
necessary? If I could configure it so the data files do not go
into /var, for example.
It seems to me this is independent from how I built or installed it.
The only part of the Riak 'world' that probably is easiest installed as root is
erlang. Although you could install erlang as non root. Once you have erlang
installed, you can compile riak as non root and it works fine.
