Docs/Tutorials should be updated to remind users to run setup_walkoff.py and walkoff.py with sudo

On a fresh Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 LTS VM with the WALKOFF pre-reqs installed, and after having cloned master
to a sub-folder in the Home directory of my non -root user, it seems to be the case that
$ python3 setup_walkoff.py
(assuming we've cd
'd into the WALKOFF directory) will not work because it does not have enough permissions. The following works:
$ sudo python3 setup_walkoff.py
and
$ sudo python3 walkoff.py
I think the docs should be updated to let users know that they need to launch setup_walkoff.py
and walkoff.py
both using sudo
when running natively.
