I'm using packer to install MySQL 5.6 on an Ubuntu VM. To install it, I'm using the below script.

#!/bin/bash
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://kr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main' -y
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty universe' -y
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.6 -y
systemctl restart mysql

However, the installer kept prompting for a password. Is there any way to pass the password in the script since it's installed within a VM? I'm stuck in this situation.

They ask you to set a password for the root user :) – SerHack Jun 26 '21 at 13:03

Is there a way I can pass that password in the command itself – Shine Kumar K P Jun 26 '21 at 19:22
