forcing yes for EULA acceptance when installing package via apt-get

Question

I'm attempting to install a package, thus:

apt-get install --yes --force-yes mssql-tools

Despite the fact I have done everything I can to get it to accept Yes when prompting for acceptance of the EULA, it hangs on the [Yes/No] prompt for accepting the EULA.

Does anyone know how I can force yes at the EULA prompt.

Answer 1

This is what everntually worked for me, I found this in the Dockerfile for the mssql-tools image:

apt-get update && ACCEPT_EULA=Y apt-get install -y mssql-tools
