Can I use am in a non-interactive way, e.g. via another script

[micmejia]

Is there a simple way to run am inside a script? I tried running it with sudo am install gopass, and it returned do not use sudo; but when I ran am install gopass the script hangs, because am seemed to be prompting for sudo password.. tia

I'm trying to use it to install apps via pyinfra or even embed/call am from another bash script:

if not host.get_fact(Command, command="which am"):
    server.shell(
        name="Install 'am' manager",
        commands=[
            "wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ivan-hc/AM/main/INSTALL",
            "chmod a+x ./INSTALL && ./INSTALL && rm ./INSTALL",
        ],
        _sudo=True,
    )

if not host.get_fact(Command, command="which gopass"):
    server.shell(
        name="Install latest gopass via am",
        commands=["am install gopass"],
    )

sudo/doas usage is already built in

AM/APP-MANAGER

Lines 329 to 336 in a653b79

	if command -v sudo >/dev/null 2>&1; then
	export SUDOCMD="sudo"
	elif command -v doas >/dev/null 2>&1; then
	export SUDOCMD="doas"
	else
	echo $'ERROR: No sudo or doas found'
	exit 1
	fi

about using it in other scripts, of course you can do it. But use directly the command, without sudo/doas.

I'm not good in Python, but I use AM in shell script for my workflows, like this below (see the am -i references)

But if you need to run AM without root prvileges, just use AppMan instead.

Thank you; using appman was the solution for me. God bless you :)
