Install/Setup AWS CLI on a GitHub Actions Linux host.

After this action, every step is capable of running `aws` CLI, and it's up to you to set AWS credentials in the subsequent steps.

Tested in [unfor19/install-aws-cli-action-test](https://github.com/unfor19/install-aws-cli-action-test/actions?query=workflow%3Atest-action)

**TIP**: It's possible to use the [entrypoint.sh](https://github.com/unfor19/install-aws-cli-action/blob/master/entrypoint.sh) script as a "bootstrap script to install/setup aws cli on Linux", regardless of GitHub Actions; see [Other Options](https://github.com/unfor19/install-aws-cli-action#other-options) for more details.

## Usage

Valid AWS CLI `version` values:

- `1` - latest v1
- `2` - latest v2 (default)
- `1.##.##` - specific v1
- `2.##.##` - specific v2

### Usage

Add one of the following steps to a job in your workflow.

#### Common Usage

```yaml
- id: install-aws-cli
  uses: unfor19/install-aws-cli-action@v1

    version: 2                         # default
    verbose: false                     # default
    arch: amd64                        # allowed values: amd64, x86, x64, arm, arm64
