Pacman Yes

How do I get pacman to default to "yes" for all questions. I want to issue an install command and come back later and find it fully installed, not hanging there waiting for me to press the yes key.

Re: Pacman Yes

The "--noconfirm" option should do that.

Or if you want a more general option,

yes | pacman blah blah blah

Re: Pacman Yes

In short: '--noconfirm' works well for installing. 'yes |' works well for -Scc cleaning.
