How to install STM32CubeCLT in docker container?

[cla]

Hello

I am new to this forum, so if I am at the wrong place, let me know.

How can this software: https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeclt.html be installed from a script? Namely into docker container?

I get the following error:

``` DISPLAY not set. Cannot display license. Aborting. ```

Thanks in advance.

What if you just install cubeclt on a normal linux machine with a display (yes, manually), then copy the stuff into container, post the result to your container server and be done with it?

Thanks for the suggestion. I will consider this.

I was wondering, though, if there is no way to do it automatically, as I would like to build the container automatically from a script as well. Is this really an edge-use-case? I would have thought, that the installer would provide a way to accept the license agreement from a script? I tried `echo y | install_script` and the like. It does not work.

If there is no way, where to post the feature request?

Thanks.

@SofLit could you look at this request? Is there a "legal" way to bypass the license annoyance for headless installation?

Hello @cla 

First let me thank you for posting.

In fact, during the installation it's required that the license agreement is done manually by the user.

I will raise your request internally and give you updates as soon as I get them.

KR,

Try setting this env:

LICENSE_ALREADY_ACCEPTED=1

It works for STM32CubeIDE.

Final command:
```
unzip ./en.st-stm32cubeclt_1.16.0_xxxxx.sh.zip && \
chmod +x ./st-stm32cubeclt_1.16.0_xxxxx.sh && \
echo | sudo LICENSE_ALREADY_ACCEPTED=1 ./st-stm32cubeclt_1.16.0_xxxxx.sh
```

`echo` sends newline to accept default install directory (there might be a better approach, but this worked).

That's a good solution as well. Honestly, it's probably the cleaner solution.

I ended up just using an expect script to install on a devcontainer. Ensure you install procps-ng and expect before you run it if you do it this way. Then just remove the packages after it's installed. Here's the expect script.

#!/usr/bin/expect

# Path to your shell script
set script "/tmp/st-stm32cubeclt_1.17.0_23554_20241124_1810_amd64.sh"

# Start the script
spawn $script --nox11

# Automatically handle the --More-- paging prompt
expect {
-re "--More--" {
send "q"
exp_continue
}
-re {\[[NY]/[yn]\]}
{
send "y\n"
exp_continue
}
-re {STM32CubeCLT install dir\?}
{
send "/opt/st/stm32cubeclt_1.17.0\n"
exp_continue
}
}
# Wait for the script to finish
expect eof
