I logged out and back in as documented in the Getting Started Guide. But I need sudo to upload a program.

I’m using a fresh Ubuntu in VMware as I reported in [HiFive1 Getting Started Guide and Other Docs are available!](http://forums.sifive.com/t/hifive1-getting-started-guide-and-other-docs-are-available/197/14).
