I tested the version from @That-Dude and it works under my VM of Big Sur 11.5.2. Catalina 10.15.3 fails.
Thank you for the code. I had to modify this slightly for it to run on Monterey 12.0.1. I have not regression tested this but it would be simple to check the OS version and use your original code for versions prior to Monterey (if this code doesn't work for them).

Thanks for this! Had same issue of needing to install over ssh over vpn, so no chance to get at the GUI (also had to remove the
-v
)
