install-phylum-latest-action

A GitHub Action to install the latest version of the Phylum command-line tool.

This action enables users to download, install, and configure the Phylum command-line interface (CLI) tool for use. The Phylum CLI tool allows users to submit their project package dependencies to Phylum's API for analysis.

Phylum provides a complete risk analyis of "open-source packages" (read: untrusted software from random Internet strangers). Phylum evolved forward from legacy SCA tools to defend from supply-chain malware, malicious open-source authors, and engineering risk, in addition to software vulnerabilities and license risks. To learn more, please see our website.

• mandatory inputs:
  • phylum_token - the API authentication token for your account
• optional inputs:
  • phylum_version - a specific version of the Phylum CLI to install
    • NOTE: when not specified, the latest version will be installed
    • NOTE: the Phylum CLI 2.0.0 release changed the way the artifacts are packaged and released, which means this option should NOT specify a version less than 2.0.0
