I understand Unix and it confused me.

The script says:

If you still want to use this script set your user to be an Administrator in System Preferences or `su'.

It should be more specific and say to su as an administrator user. I figured that root was effectively an administrator, because I'm new to MacOS. The language just isn't precise.
