## Action Inputs
#### version
```yaml
version:
required: false
description: "Version of jq to install"
default: "1.7"
```
This must be a version with a [corresponding release](https://github.com/stedolan/jq/releases).
#### force
```yaml
force:
required: false
description: "If 'true', does not check for existing jq installation before continuing."
default: 'false'
```
GitHub's own hosted runners come with a version of
[jq pre-installed](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/about-github-hosted-runners#preinstalled-software).
Setting this to `true` will install the version you specify into the tool cache, superseding the preinstalled version.
Setting this to true can also help ensure the same version is used across both self-hosted and remote runners.
## Action Outputs
#### found
```yaml
found:
description: "If 'true', jq was already found on this runner"
```
#### installed
```yaml
installed:
description: "If 'true', jq was installed by this action"
```
