But I found an even easier solution. There is an option that disables the license prompt. After running './configure' and 'make', I perform the following change from within the tripwire source directory: sed -i '/PROMPT=/s/true/false/' install/install.sh You also have prompts for SITE and LOCAL passwords. These can be automated with: sed -i '/TW_SITE_PASS=/s/\"\"/\"PASSWORD\"/' install/install.sh sed -i '/TW_LOCAL_PASS=/s/\"\"/\"PASSWORD\"/' install/install.sh The above will define both passwords as PASSWORD. You can then run 'make install' without any prompts. Hope that may help others. I came across this as useful. But I found an even easier solution.

There is an option that disables the license prompt.

After running ‘./configure’ and ‘make’, I perform the following change from within the tripwire source directory:

sed -i ‘/PROMPT=/s/true/false/’ install/install.sh

You also have prompts for SITE and LOCAL passwords. These can be automated with:

sed -i ‘/TW_SITE_PASS=/s/\”\”/\”PASSWORD\”/’ install/install.sh
sed -i ‘/TW_LOCAL_PASS=/s/\”\”/\”PASSWORD\”/’ install/install.sh

The above will define both passwords as PASSWORD.

You can then run ‘make install’ without any prompts.

Hope that may help others.
