During the install I have to hit [ENTER] in order for the install to proceed on the command:

apt-get install openjdk-7-jre

Is there a way to avoid this prompt?

Old question but still not answered and relevant. You need to install the headless package instead. At the time of this writing version 11 is out so I am using that as example:

apt install -y openjdk-11-jre-headless

or for JDK

apt install -y openjdk-11-jdk-headless

Easy way to do this

apt update
apt upgrade 
apt install -y openjdk-11-jdk-headless
java -version

You can add the -y option i.e. apt-get -y install openjdk-7-jre

from the apt-get manual:

-y, --yes, --assume-yes Automatic yes to prompts; assume "yes" as answer to all prompts and run non-interactively. If an undesirable situation, such as changing a held package, trying to install a unauthenticated package or removing an essential package occurs then apt-get will abort. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Assume-Yes.

Edit: To accept the java license, the solution is here:

  • That doesn't work for that one, the prompt you ask for is from apt-get. It's during the installation that something pop ups. – PascalVKooten Feb 14 '16 at 20:29
