   I still don't understand sudo properly

   Hi all,   
   I've been using linux (Ubuntu/Mint mainly) for 20 years and I still find   
   things that I don't understand.  I need some help!   
      
   I have a need to run the following code after generating a virtual   
   machine in LXD.  The following code runs fine in the VM from the terminal:   
   sudo su -   
   mount -t 9p config /mnt   
   cd /mnt   
   ./install.sh   
   exit   
      
   However, when I converted the commands to my bash script and try to run   
   this code , it fails:   
   cd /mnt   
   sudo mount -t 9p config /mnt   
   sudo /mnt/install.sh   
      .   
      .   
      
   The error it gives me is:   
   "This script must be run from within the 9p mount"   
      
   Can someone explain how I can accomplish the intent of this code?   
   Richard
