What does sudo apt install -y do? [closed]

Question

I've noticed that some installations for packages include a -y in sudo apt install. I'm just curious and I've googled this already.

Answer 1

Man pages are your friend: https://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-get

The option -y tells apt-get to assume the answer to all prompts is yes. When you typically install something, it will ask you if you want to proceed after finding the right packages. With -y, you won't need to answer that prompt, the installation will proceed automatically.
