Subject: [PATCH] Notify command priviligies

As a request of issue n.145, i made it that now it writes that you need to use the 'sudo' command for it to work, as before it made it that, if you want to update or remove or even install a package it made it that command a sudo, i then modified the value of the command and the output.
