Automate the installation of .run package












1















I would like to automate in a single command execution the installation of .run file (xampp in this case) which requires interactive answer from user:



Here is the manual installation:



sudo ./xampp-linux-1.8.3-5-installer.run
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the XAMPP Setup Wizard.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Select the components you want to install; clear the components you do not want
to install. Click Next when you are ready to continue.

XAMPP Core Files : **Y** (Cannot be edited)

XAMPP Developer Files [Y/n] :**n**

Is the selection above correct? [Y/n]: **Y**

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation Directory

XAMPP will be installed to /opt/lampp
Press **[Enter]** to continue:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setup is now ready to begin installing XAMPP on your computer.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]: **Y**

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please wait while Setup installs XAMPP on your computer.

There is the mysterious



 --optionfile <optionfile>      Installation option file


with no documentation I could find (which would be combined with --mode unattended).



Otherwise, I've had some success with the hackish echo -e "YNYnY" | <command> where <command> will be sudo ./xampp-linux-1.8.3-5-installer.run. (N.B. I've done the installing EMC Networker, not XAMPP.)
