Qt silent, unattended install

samfrances

Hi

I'm having trouble performing an "unattended" silent install of Qt on ubuntu.

This is the command I'm using:

./qt-unified-linux-x64-4.0.1-online.run --platform minimal --accept-licenses --default-answer --verbose install

However, the --accept-licenses option isn't working as I would expect. I still get to the following prompt which expects manual input:

Please read and accept the Open Source Usage Obligations below. Reading the link below helps you choosing the right license for your project.

Choosing the right license for your projects: https://www.qt.io/licensing
Buy Qt: https://www.qt.io/buy-product

(Lesser) GNU General Public License v3 obligations:

* You must not combine code developed with a commercial Qt license with code developed with an open source license of Qt in one project or product
* Provide a license copy & explicitly acknowledge Qt use
* Make a Qt source code copy available for customers
* Accept that Qt source code modifications are non-proprietary
* Make consumer devices, which allow users to access to install and run modified versions of the SW inside them
* Accept Digital Rights Management terms, please see the GPL FAQ: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DRMProhibited

[2649] Accept|Reject

Is there a way I'm missing to automatically pass this prompt (and subsequent prompts)?

@samfrances said in Qt silent, unattended install:

--accept-licenses

Correctly written? If so I would suggest asking the Qt support - we can't help here since we don't have anything to do with TQtC.

Hi
Im not sure it allows silent installs out of the box.
Some one tried here

I can also vouch for the ease of using aqt on linux (and other platforms, too).

Pretty sure this qualifies as an unofficial/unsupported method, but it works:
