How to automatically install packages?

Question

I want to install packages automatically by running a script

I can write yum install php, but I want it to install another package once installation of the php package is completed.

Is there any solution to make it automatic?

I have around 20 packages which are to be downloaded from remi repository.

Welcome to unix.se! In questions that require distribution-specific answers, please always include information about the distribution you are using. Judging from yum, I assume you are using Fedora.

You can give more than one package name per call:

yum install php httpd this that andtheother win8

(but your repository probably won't have win8 ;) )

	You can add '-y' which will assume 'yes' as input to all prompts. – akid Aug 27 '12 at 7:32
