How to confirm something in Linux command-line prompt

Question

In order to install Composer on my OVH web hosting service, I need to pass some SSH commands.

To pass them, OVH wants me to install some CLI using commands (guide here)

To connect using certificate-based authentication, install the Web PaaS CLI.

PaaS CLI is supposedly installed with this command.

Objective

The CLI is the official tool to use and manage your Web PaaS projects directly from your terminal. Anything you can do within the management console can be done with the CLI.

Behinds the scenes it uses both the Git interface and our REST API. The source code of the CLI is hosted on GitHub.

Installation

You can install the CLI easily using this command
curl -fsS https: //eu.cli.webpaas.ovhcloud.com/installer | php
You can find the system requirements and more information in the installation instructions on GitHub.

The command doesn't work on the Windows Terminal.

        }
        
        return $selected;
   }
}
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: php.exe

C:\Users\Alex>curl -sfS https://eu.cli.webpaas.ovhcloud.com/installer | apt install php7.2-cli
'apt' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Users\Alex>ssh Alex@Alex-PC
ssh: connect to host Alex-PC port 22: Connection refused

So I tried from the Linux prompt from my Hive OS mining machine. Attempting the installation command from my mining machine:

root@Dual_RTX_3090:/# curl -sfS https://eu.cli.webpaas.ovhcloud.com/installer | php

Command ‘php’ not found, but can be installed with:

apt install php7.2-cli
apt install hhvm

curl: (23) Failed writing body (539 != 5935)
root@Dual_RTX 3090: /# curl -sfS https://eu.cli.webpaas.ovhcloud.com/installer | apt install php7.2-cli

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Abort.
root@Dual_RTX_3090:/# Y
Y: command not found
root@Dual_RTX_3090:/#

So I pasted

curl -sfS https://eu.cli.webpaas.ovhcloud.com/installer | php

in the Command prompt, and I got served with

Command 'php' not nound, but can be installed with ...

so I then tried

curl -sfS https://eu.cli.webpaas.ovhcloud.com/installer | apt install php7.2-cli

and from there, it asked me to confirm.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Abort.

I tried to type "Y" and enter, but that doesn't do it.

How do you confirm this at this point?

I think you can install php first by `apt install php7.2-cli` and then execute the `curl` command. — z.h., Oct 09 '21 at 15:04

Using apt install php7.2-cli and then curl did it; thanks to z.h. for their comment!

Let's see if I can now pass the SSH commands to OVH to get that Composer installed.
