I do the ./install ; it prompts for answers like :
lease enter your choice:[Y|N] (default: N) y
Do you want to view the installation notes? (y/n):(default: y) n
How can I automate that so it will read my Y or N answer from another file without me manually entering it each time?
I appreciate any information you can share with me.

A fun utility, @RaúlUlisesMartÃnHernández but it’s not flexible enough to provide variable responses (“y†followed by “n†here)

If the installer reads from standard input (as opposed to directly from the tty), you can do:
printf "%sn" "y" "n" | ./install
If you really want the response information in a file, you could:
printf "%sn" "y" "n" > response-file
./install < response-file

Thanks, this is exactly what I want : y n 2 y n would the following be correct: printf "%sn" "y" "n" "2" "y" "n" > response-file ./install < response-file

The formatting is limited in comments, but that looks like the right direction. If you spell out exactly what you need in the Question, then I can update the Answer accordingly.

printf "qynnn2n/opt/CAnynynynnn" | ./install The n's are the enter keys
