letting root use homebrew installed packages

By default your homebrew installed tools aren’t available in other user, requiring us to do like sudo $(which xyz).

> sudo crictl ps
sudo: crictl: command not found

This guide aims to remedy that.

Procedures

1. Add shellenv to your root zshrc/bashrc

    # Add one of the following line
    Apple Silicon: eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
    Intel Mac: eval "$(/usr/local/bin/brew shellenv)"
    Linux: eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
   

2. Edit sudoer with visudo

    # Change visudo secure_path
    Apple Silicon Macs: Add :/opt/homebrew/bin
    Linux: Add :/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin
   

3. Viola, tools should be available in root shell/sudo as well.
