How Do You Use Tripwire Commands without the “Keyfile Read/Write error”?

Problem scenario
You created a tripwire keyfile.  You perform a tripwire (e.g., twprint) command but you get this error:

### Error: Keyfile Read/Write error.
### /etc/tripwire/site.key
### Exiting...

What should you do?

Solution
Use sudo before the tripwire command.  This error can happen when the Linux user has insufficient permissions to perform the tripwire (e.g., twprint) command
