# The Best Linux Program: `yes`
|
||||
|
||||
The program `yes` prints the word `yes` to your terminal until you cancel it, perhaps with 'Control + c'.
|
||||
Or technically it prints `yes\n`, meaning `yes` and then a new line (like pressing the Return key).
|
||||
|
||||
This is extremely powerful.
|
||||
|
||||
If you ever want to automatically install something which persistently nags you with `do you want to do the thing? [y/N]?`, then you can just pipe `yes` into that program, and it will answer 'yes' to all questions.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yes | $INSTALL_SCRIPT_FILE.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This works best for disposable systems, like VMs or containers.
|
||||
Try this on a live system, and you might find out that you should have read that message fully.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yes | yay
|
||||
```
