while [ x$agreed = x ]; do
    echo
    echo "Do you accept all the terms?"
    echo "Do you agree to the above license terms? [y/n] "
    read reply leftover
    case $reply in
    y* | Y*)
        agreed=1;;
    n* | n*)
        echo "If you don't agree to the license you can't install this sofware";
        exit 1;;

done

How do you automatically skip the more command?

printf "y\n" | bash ./file.sh doesn't seem to work.

Solution:

You can do

(more() { :; }; export -f more; script)

and more won't show up.
