Pass $PATH I want into sudo
# By default, sudo does NOT pass the user's original PATH into the superuser process, and it gets some default PATH defined on the system.
# Following cmd pass user's PATH into sudo, replacing env with the commond you want.
sudo env PATH="$PATH" command
# Example of passing Latexmk's PATH
sudo env PATH="$PATH" latexmk -pdf -shell-escape -use-make main.tex
