Then our questions (and yours) have effectively been answered.  
Because you're logged in as root, every command you issue is  
essentially the same as issuing it with 'sudo' as a normal user. When  
you 'sudo' a command, for the life of the command you are running it  
as the root user.

Now, if you were to login as yourself on your linux system (and not  
root), you need to issue the sudo command at every point the  
instructions ask you to issue sudo on MacOS.

Understand the difference between the OSes?
