Current Behavior

When running sudo empire server with starkiller enabled, the process returns:

[INFO]: Starkiller enabled. Loading. 
[INFO]: Starkiller: directory not found. Cloning Starkiller 
fatal: could not create work tree dir '/usr/share/empire/empire/server/api/v2/starkiller': Permission denied
[ERROR]: Failed to execute command: Command '['sudo', '-u', 'athena', 'git', 'clone', 'https://github.com/BC-SECURITY/Starkiller.git', PosixPath('/usr/share/empire/empire/server/api/v2/starkiller')]' returned non-zero exit status 128. 

I installed Empire in the standard system-level installation dir (to make it accessible for all users) in /usr/share/empire. So, the issue occurs because git is trying to clone starkiller repository as my user despite I run sudo. It must be managed in a different way at code level.

In summary, the command sudo -u athena git clone https://github.com/BC-SECURITY/Starkiller.git /usr/share/empire/empire/server/api/v2/starkiller is useless because it could not have sudo permissions if run as user.

Expected Behavior

No permission denied when I run empire server by sudo while I want to clone StarKiller in a system-level directory.

Steps To Reproduce

Enable StarKiller in config.yaml, install Empire in /usr/share/empire and run sudo empire server.

Anything else?
