You can also invoke a single configuration as a sudoer by adding `-sudo` to the end of a configuration
```bash
./install-standalone some-config-sudo some-other-config
```
In the last example, the `some-config` config will be run with elevated privileges, but `some-other-config` will not.
The above prevent passing command-line arguments like `-v` and `-q` to the Dotbot invocation. If you want to use command-line options in conjunction with the above, you can add parsing of command-line options as described in [#87](https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot/issues/87#issue-146431889).
