Choice of packages installation

Hi,

how to choose all packages from a list provided by pacman during installation ? e,g.

:: There are 10 providers available for ttf-font:
:: Repository extra
   1) gnu-free-fonts  2) noto-fonts  3) ttf-bitstream-vera  4) ttf-croscore
   5) ttf-dejavu  6) ttf-droid  7) ttf-ibm-plex  8) ttf-input
   9) ttf-liberation  10) ttf-mona-sans

and instead of 1 I want to choose multiple or all from the list above , how to do that ? I tried as below but it did not work

Enter a number (default=1): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
error: invalid number: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

.I know its a very basic thing but I am forgetting and could not find any link to find the correct method to do it . Would appreciate guidance in this regard,

Thanks ,

I'm fairly sure you can not select multiple providers.  If you want the all, just copy the list and install them all afterwards.

That`s what I did but I think there is an option like 1-10 but I did not try it ( as if it would cause some big mess ! which of course does`t , I just wanted to be sure first hence asked here
