As described here, I am trying to install the following driver in shell, using this code (modified from the original slightly):
curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | sudo apt-key add -
curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/debian/8/prod.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mssql-release.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo ACCEPT_EULA=Y apt-get install msodbcsql17
But I get an error on the last command:
sudo: sorry, you are not allowed to set the following environment variables: ACCEPT_EULA
After searching, I can't seem to find this exact error anywhere else.
One solution is to run the last command without ACCEPT_EULA=Y
as sudo apt-get install msodbcsql17
. And then to enter Y
at the prompt. This indeed works but I would like to run the above installation for other users without need of their input.
- Is there a way to resolve the above error so I can use
ACCEPT_EULA=Y
, or - alternatively is there a simple way to enter the
Y
response for the EULA automatically so the end user never needs to take any action?
Thank you in advance.
