I want to be able to install packages unattended with the Arch Linux package manager pacaur. On Ubuntu, one can do:

apt-get -y install htop

What is the equivalent in Arch Linux, using Pacaur?

It looks like pacaur supports --noconfirm:

--noconfirm      do not prompt for any confirmation

The following may also be useful:

--noedit         do not prompt to edit files
