Auto-install .rpm version via terminal?

[yioannides]

Hi everyone, I am building a Fedora post-install script and I was wondering if there's a way to automatically download the latest 64-bit .rpm for nautilus-dropbox and install it without physically interacting with the "Install Nautilus extension" dialog box, all via terminal.

I tried extracting the latest 64-bit .rpm link from the Dropbox Linux install page via wget and curl, but since the link name is dynamic based on release date, it always updates, so I was wondering if there's a static way of retrieving the latest version, like the tarball version.

We don't currently expose a way to always grab the latest, but installing the RPM adds our third-party repo, so installing a specific version then running dnf upgrade dropbox (I thiiink DNF lets you upgrade a single package at a time?) will get you on the latest.

As for the dialog box, running DISPLAY= dropbox start -i will launch Dropbox in headless mode, so it'll output the dialog box contents to stdout instead of trying to make a dialog box.

Thank you for the response. What I'd like to achieve is automatically installing nautilus-dropbox on the very first reboot after a fresh Linux install via shell, but that would require either retrieving the latest .rpm from a website or adding a third-party repository and downloading nautilus-dropbox from there. Is there at least a way to enable the Dropbox repo via command line?

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I wanted to clarify the second part of my original inquiry; it's the dialog box below that I would like to automate via terminal without physically interacting with it.
