How to do opam init in a non interactive way?

Learning

Is there a way to run opam init in a non-interactive way?

Is it possible to make it silent also, instead of the default babling that I don’t care of?

Also, is it possible to specify explicitly where the dot opam dir should reside (by default: ~/.opam)?

Thanks,
F.

Looking at the man page you can make the setup non-interactive with:

-a, --auto-setup
    Automatically do a full setup, including adding a line to your
    shell init files.

There are a lot of other flags available that might allow you to configure the installation as you need, you can print them using opam init --help.

Using the var OPAMROOT or the --root might allow you to use a different directory ?
