(You can also omit the minor version if the major version is 1 or greater.) ```yaml - uses: taiki-e/install-action@v2 with: tool: cargo-hack@0.5 ``` To install multiple tools: ```yaml - uses: taiki-e/install-action@v2 with: tool: cargo-hack,cargo-minimal-versions ``` Or: ```yaml - uses: taiki-e/install-action@cargo-hack - uses: taiki-e/install-action@cargo-minimal-versions ``` ## Supported

**If a tool not included in the list above is specified, this action uses [cargo-binstall] as a fallback.** ### Add support for new tool See the [development guide](DEVELOPMENT.md) for how to add support for new tool. ## Security When installing the tool from GitHub Releases, this action will download the tool or its installer from GitHub Releases using HTTPS with tlsv1.2+. This is basically considered to be the same level of security as [the recommended installation of rustup](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install). Additionally, this action will also verify SHA256 checksums for downloaded files in all tools installed from GitHub Releases. This is enabled by default and can be disabled by setting the `checksum` input option to `false`. See the linked documentation for information on security when installed using [snap](https://snapcraft.io/docs) or [cargo-binstall](https://github.com/cargo-bins/cargo-binstall#faq). ## Compatibility This action has been tested for GitHub-hosted runners (Ubuntu, macOS, Windows) and containers (Ubuntu, Debian, Alpine, Fedora, CentOS, Rocky). To use this action in self-hosted runners or in containers, at least the following tools are required: - bash - cargo (if you use cargo-binstall fallback) ## Related Projects - [cache-cargo-install-action]: GitHub Action for `cargo install` with cache. - [create-gh-release-action]: GitHub Action for creating GitHub Releases based on changelog. - [upload-rust-binary-action]: GitHub Action for building and uploading Rust binary to GitHub Releases. - [setup-cross-toolchain-action]: GitHub Action for setup toolchains for cross compilation and cross testing for Rust.
