apt-get install tzdata noninteractive [closed]

When I try to

apt-get install -y tzdata

the command line option for picking timezone shows up. I am trying to use this in a script to do some setup, how can I make the apt-get run without user input?

I know to reconfigure the tzdata I can do

echo "America/New_York"> /etc/timezonedpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive tzdata

But when installing I need it to run fully even if it doesn't set the right timezone, I can always reconfigure it.

I tried

echo 5 | apt-get install -y tzdata

but it is not working as expected.
