The bot will not run as root-user.

Hello. I have such a minor problem and that I can not boot the boot even using the service! I was looking at previous posts but they are from 2015 and the root start no longer works. What should I do with it ?

root@debian:/Teamspeak# ./sinusbot help
2019/05/24 12:37:12 The bot will not run as root-user.
root@debian:/Teamspeak# ./sinusbot run
2019/05/24 12:37:15 The bot will not run as root-user.
root@debian:/Teamspeak# ./sinusbot -RunningAsRootIsEvilAndIKnowThat

Debian 9

Just don't run it as root. There's no valid reason to do that.

Create a new user account and use it to run the bot. See the documentation or use the installer script.

Extracting SinusBot files.
tar: sinusbot: Cannot open: File exists
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Command which failed was: "su -c "tar -xjf sinusbot.current.tar.bz2" $SINUSBOTUSER". Please try to execute it manually and attach the output to the bug report in the forum thread.
If it still doesn't work report this to the author at https://forum.sinusbot.com/threads/sinusbot-installer-script.1200/ only. Not a PN or a bad review, cause this is an error of your system not of the installer script. Line 813.
