Pacman option to assume “yes” to every question?

Question

When installing software in debian systems we can put something like this:

sudo apt-get install -y chromium-browser

that way the installation occurs automatically, whitout asking to confirm installation [Y/n]. Can i do the same with pacman?

Answer 1

From man pacman:

--noconfirm
Bypass any and all “Are you sure?” messages. It’s not a good idea to do this unless you want to run pacman from a script.

Note the qualification about using this with care...

Arch is a rolling release, which means pacman has to, from time to time, manage some quite complex upgrades. At these times pacman will prompt you to confirm your choices—disregarding these prompts will generally not be a significant issue, but in some cases, as with the recent move from /lib to /usr/lib , a lack of attention will cause major breakage. This is a not a habit you want to cultivate.
