    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

          use-installer: true
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Inputs

version

The AWS SAM CLI version to install. Installs the latest version by default.

use-installer

Note

This is the recommended approach on supported platforms. It does not require Python to be installed, and is faster than the default installation method.

Currently supports Linux x86-64 runners.

Set to true to set up AWS SAM CLI using a native installer. Defaults to false.

python

Note

Unused if use-installer is set to true.

The Python interpreter to use for AWS SAM CLI. Defaults to python on Windows, and python3 otherwise.

You can use actions/setup-python to automatically set up Python.

token

Note

It is recommended to use token to have higher rate limit. Default unauthenticated users without a token will have a lesser rate limit enforced.

The GITHUB Authentication token to use for calling the GITHUB Get the latest release API. Defaults to call the API as unauthenticated request if not specified.

The parameter can accept either GITHUB_TOKEN or PAT(Personal Access Token) tokens.
