Error When Resizing SD Card

[Bob123456789]

I am trying to create an Ubuntu  Linux Image SD using the instructions below.

It works fine (Ubuntu boots using the new SD card and I can log in) except for when I open the terminal and try to resize the SD card using:

"Execute resize_rootfs.sh script to resize the root partition in order to fully utilize the SD Card"

I  get the error:

"This scrip requires root"

How do I solve this?

are you typing "sudo" (or "sudo su" before executing the command) prior to the command?

No. I wasn't typing sudo before the command.

It worked now! Thanks!

just for reference, you can also use gparted in GUI
