sudo access needed to run cm run script "get sys-utils-cm"

Hi,

This is my attached cm-repro file
cm-repro.zip

I'm trying to run the MLPerf Reference Implementation for bert-large at https://docs.mlcommons.org/inference/benchmarks/language/bert/ and I'm running into issues while trying to run

cm run script --tags=run-mlperf,inference,_find-performance,_full,_r4.1-dev \
   --model=bert-99 \
   --implementation=reference \
   --framework=pytorch \
   --category=edge \
   --scenario=Offline \
   --execution_mode=test \
   --device=cpu  \
   --quiet \
   --test_query_count=100

I see in the terminal that it's asking me for my sudo password, but I don't have sudo access on this cluster. Here's the output:

CM error: Portable CM script failed (name = get-generic-sys-util, return code = 256)

I see that it's trying to install wget, but when I run wget -h I see that it's installed on the system. Is there anyway to bypass this step?

Thank you so much,
Indy Ng

Start with the reported cm run script flow and get-generic-sys-util/run.sh, where the log invokes apt-get to install wget. Reproduce the run on a system where wget is already available but sudo is unavailable, then verify that the MLPerf BERT command completes without requiring sudo.
