linux run installer, accept license with argument

[fjallraven]

It would be great if we could auto accept Autodesk license with an argument "--confirm" If this is related: https://github.com/megastep/makeself/pull/100 It looks to have gone into makeself 2.3.1

Many thanks

@fjallraven - I'm guessing that this would be for pipeline/undattended deployment scenarios?

Yes exactly that. I could not find any workaround, example extracting the rpm etc, but if you have any I'll be happy to try it!

@fjallraven one option here would be to extract the package, and then run the RPM separately, not as simple as "--confirm" but this is a workaround for now. :)

to do that, you would first need to make the installer executable: # chmod +x ./MayaUSD_0.20.0_Maya2023.2_Linux.run

from then on, you can extract the packages: # ./MayaUSD_0.20.0_Maya2023.2_Linux.run --tar xvf

now you can install the rpm package, just like any other rpm package: rpm -iv --quiet --force ./MayaUSD2023-202210201313-b84fd36-0.20.0-1.x86_64.rpm

you might want to use different arguments on your rpm command, these are a sample. :)

Thank you @santosg87 That works well!

glad to help! :)

moving this issue to the backlog for the time being as we discuss viability of fixing somewthing like this on the installer in the future.
