# install-octopus-cli-action

This is a GitHub Action to install the new [Octopus CLI](https://octopus.com/blog/building-octopus-cli-vnext#introducing-the-new-octopus-cli-octopus) (`octopus`) on runners and self-hosted environments. Once installed, the Octopus CLI may be used to issue commands to [Octopus Deploy](https://octopus.com/). Subsequent actions may use the Octopus CLI, which is cached and available via `PATH`.

## What is the Octopus CLI?

The Octopus CLI is a command line tool that builds on top of the [Octopus REST API](https://octopus.com/docs/octopus-rest-api). It enables you to package applications for deployment and manage your environments, deployments, channels, projects, and workers in Octopus Deploy.

## Features

- Download, install, and cache Octopus CLI to be used in workflows
- Supports SemVer-based version numbers with wildcards (i.e. `0.8.*`) but not ranges

## Migration Guide(s)

Please refer to the [migration guide](migration-guide.md) if moving between major versions of this action.

## Examples

To install the latest version (i.e. `*` or `latest`) of the Octopus CLI:

```yml
- name: Install Octopus CLI 🐙

```

To install a specific version of the Octopus CLI:

```yml
- name: Install Octopus CLI 🐙
uses: OctopusDeploy/install-octopus-cli-action@v3

with:
version: 0.8.0
