no prompt install of F@H client

Post by Etherion »

I need a way to install the fahclient_7.5.1_amd64 without getting the prompts.
It works to run this command but it still prompts me.
dpkg -i --force-depends --force-confdef fahclient_7.5.1_amd64.deb;

the idea is is to run the FAHClient with paramters --user=me--passkey=1234--team=1234-

if i try apt install i get this
root@C.497389:~$ apt install fahclient_7.5.1_amd64.deb
