Two questions actually, trying to run the Intel TSS with a SW TPM

1

Instructions for a project say to run
	service tpm2-abrmd start
When I do that, I get

 * Starting TPM2 Access Broker and Resource Management Daemon tpm2-abrmd
** (process:19039): WARNING **: 18:06:45.480: tcti_conf before:
"device:/dev/tpm0"

** (tpm2-abrmd:19039): WARNING **: 18:06:45.488: tcti_conf after:
"device:/dev/tpm0"
Refusing to run as root. Pass --allow-root if you know what you are doing.

This probably fails because I don't have /dev/tpm0,ight?

2

Later instructions says to

	sudo -u tss /usr/local/sbin/tpm2-abrmd --tcti=mssim &

which fails because I don't have tpm2-abrmd.  I did install the packages -
Ubuntu 20.

Finally, if I'm using the SW TPM, can I simply skip the abrmd complexity
and somehow point the Intel TSS to the SW TPM socket.
