I am working on a Terminal application that allows people to execute bash commands from a Swing GUI. I run into the following problem when trying to execute a command with sudo:

> 
> sudo cd /Users/{myname}/Desktop
> 
> 
> sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
> 
> 
> 

Here's my code:

```
