running apt-get by using Qt (QProcess)

Question

I want to install and run some shell script by using Qt and make a Ubuntu Desktop Application. now I use:

QProcess process;
process.startDetached("bash /home/root_enable");
process.waitForFinished(-1);

But I don't see terminal to enter Y/n and other command. How can I fix this problem?

my root_enable is:

sudo apt-get install vim

QProcess inherits QIODevice . You can use any of its write methods to write to the input stream of the process.

Connect to readyReadStandardOutput signal of the process. In the handler read standard output, parse it and decide what to answer if needed.
