Auto yes to the License Agreement on sudo apt-get

问题:

The Oracle Java package for Ubuntu interactively asks about the License Agreement. So I have to say 'OK' and then 'yes' every time, but I'd like to automate it. What I do is this:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install oracle-java7-installer 

Is there a simple way to automate the agreement process without using expect?

回答1:

try this out:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | sudo debconf-set-selections
echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 seen true | sudo debconf-set-selections
sudo apt-get -y install oracle-java7-installer 

running 3rd and 4th command on my debian 7.1 helps, so I think the same can help on ubuntu as well

If you are using Ansible for automation you may want to put this into your playbook:

tasks:

  - name: add java PPA
    apt_repository:
      repo: "ppa:webupd8team/java"

  - name: accept oracle license
    debconf:
      name: "oracle-java7-installer"
      question: "shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1"
      value: "true"
      vtype: "select"

  - name: install jdk
    apt:
      name: "oracle-java7-installer"

Note: The value argument in debconf must be set to "true", including the quotes, as per comment by Roy Wood.

If you are using Chef for provisioning your servers with Oracle Java you can do the following in a bash execute resource.

Working off maxym's answer above

bash 'java-licence-agree' do
  code <<-EOH
    echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | debconf-set-selections
    echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 seen true | debconf-set-selections
  EOH
end
