Error while trying to instal mssql tools using puppet

Question

I'm trying to install mssql-tools. The command to install that is:

sudo ACCEPT_EULA=Y apt-get install mssql-tools

But I'm trying to achieve the same using Puppet

package { 'mssql-tools'      : ensure => latest, }

But I end up with the following error:

ERROR: The EULA was not accepted. Installation aborted.

What do I do?

When you use puppet, you don't use the package, you execute the package. Something like this:

exec { "/usr/bin/apt-get -yq install msodbcsql":
  environment => "ACCEPT_EULA=Y",
  unless => "/usr/bin/dpkg -l msodbcsql | tail -1 | grep ^ii",
}

If you need to know more about MSSQL, it is recommended to go for the SQL Course today.
