Cannot start Monero wallet as root?

Hey everyone. I'm trying to start the monero wallet gui as root so that I could install p2pool. Tried "sudo monero" and "sudo monero-gui" but I get the "command not found error". Anyone mind helping a newbie? Thanks in advance.

I get the "command not found error".

Aha. *The* "command not found error" - not the other one?

… Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

pacman -Qs monero

That aside, you're absolutely not encouraged to run GUI clients as root and most certainly not some cryptolikelyscamware and this is also not how you install stuff.
