WPILib Install on headless Ubuntu System

[SkywardSyntax]

Hey, does anyone know if there is a way to install WPILib on a headless ubuntu server (basically installing WPILib directly from the terminal)?

The installer does not support this. If you’re looking to just build robot code (eg for CI), the installer is not needed, running gradlew on a robot project will download the dependencies for you automatically.

Do you have a link to your project? That makes it seem like its missing the commands vendor dep.

Yeah, https://github.com/WestwoodRobotics/AvocadoCode
Isn't the commands vendordep part of wpilib

I was able to get a Codespace working by opening a vnc tunnel, and then using the gui for the wpilib installer, and everything seems to be functional, however I am still looking for a way to set up a Codespace completely automatically (without me having to vnc and click the install button).
