install-aws-cli-action

Install/Setup AWS CLI on a GitHub Actions Linux host.

After this action, every step is capable of running aws CLI, and it's up to you to set AWS credentials in the subsequent steps.

Forked from unfor19/install-aws-cli-action

TIP: It's possible to use the entrypoint.sh script as a "bootstrap script to install/setup aws cli on Linux", regardless of GitHub Actions; see Other Options for more details.

Usage

Valid AWS CLI version values:

• 1 - latest v1
• 2 - latest v2 (default)
• 1.##.## - specific v1
• 2.##.## - specific v2

Usage

Add the following step to a job in your workflow

- id: install-aws-cli
  uses: bishopfox/install-aws-cli-action@v1
  with:
    version: 2 # default
    verbose: false # default
    arch: amd64 # allowed values: amd64, arm64
    rootdir: "" # defaults to "PWD"
    workdir: "" # defaults to "PWD/unfor19-awscli"
