   message: <<EOM
 Users are encouraged to compile the port on their systems with
 
     CFLAGS   ?= -O3
     CPUTYPE  ?= native | ... | x86-64-v3 | ... | skylake | ...
     WITH_LTO =  yes
 
 This can improve the performance of demanding cores like the N64.
 
 NVIDIA GPU users with versions >= 535 of the x11/nvidia-driver could encounter
 crashes or freezes while using the N64 core, see
 https://github.com/ares-emulator/ares/issues/1547 and
 https://github.com/Themaister/Granite/issues/133. As a workaround either try to
 compile the port with the NVIDIA option set (recommended), or disable the NVIDIA
 shader disk cache at startup with
 
     $ __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE=0 ares
 
 The port provides the HOTKEYS option. This applies an inofficial patch which
 locks all hotkey execution in the unpaused state of the emulator. This can be a
 convenience for gamepad-only users who want to assign hotkey actions to gamepad
 buttons but who don't have enough free unassigned buttons left on the gamepad.
 
 ares uses librashader for its shader support. This library is not available in
 the FreeBSD ports tree yet, but it is being worked on, see
 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=280470. In the meantime users
 have to compile the library themselves if they want to actually use shaders:
 
-    $ su pkg install rust-nightly
+    $ su root -c 'pkg install rust-nightly'
     $ fetch https://github.com/SnowflakePowered/librashader/archive/refs/tags/librashader-v%%LIBRASHADER%%.tar.gz
     $ tar -xf librashader-v%%LIBRASHADER%%.tar.gz
     $ cd librashader-librashader-v%%LIBRASHADER%%
     $ cargo run -p librashader-build-script -- --profile release
-    $ su cp target/release/librashader.so %%LOCALBASE%%/lib
+    $ su root -c 'cp target/release/librashader.so %%LOCALBASE%%/lib'
 
 The port uses the shaders from games/libretro-shaders-slang by default. Users
 can curate and utilize their own provided collection of shaders by putting them
 into the user data directory
 
     ${HOME}/.local/share/ares/Shaders/
 
 ares won't process its own installed shaders if it finds any shaders in the user
 data directory. Delete or rename the local shaders directory in order to make
 ares use its own shaders again.
