Just out of interest, when running a series of sudo commands like that, 
instead of having to type sudo at the start of each command line, using
sudo -i

then each command (without the sudo at the start of the line), then, 
after having completed the series of sudo commands, enter
exit
  to take the login back to the user level, to avoid doing anything at 
the superuser level, that should not be done at that level.
