Customizing GitHub-hosted runners

You can install additional software on GitHub-hosted runners as a part of your workflow.

Note: GitHub-hosted runners are not currently supported on GitHub Enterprise Server. You can see more information about planned future support on the GitHub public roadmap.

If you require additional software packages on GitHub-hosted runners, you can create a job that installs the packages as part of your workflow.

To see which packages are already installed by default, see "Preinstalled software."

This guide demonstrates how to create a job that installs additional software on a GitHub-hosted runner.

Installing software on Ubuntu runners

The following example demonstrates how to install an apt package as part of a job.

name: Build on Ubuntu
on: push

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Check out repository code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Install jq tool
        run: |
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get install jq

Note: Always run sudo apt-get update before installing a package. In case the apt index is stale, this command fetches and re-indexes any available packages, which helps prevent package installation failures.

Installing software on macOS runners

The following example demonstrates how to install Brew packages and casks as part of a job.

name: Build on macOS
on: push

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: macos-latest
    steps:
      - name: Check out repository code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Install GitHub CLI
        run: |
          brew update
          brew install gh
      - name: Install Microsoft Edge
        run: |
          brew update
          brew install --cask microsoft-edge

Installing software on Windows runners

The following example demonstrates how to use Chocolatey to install the GitHub CLI as part of a job.

name: Build on Windows
on: push
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: windows-latest
    steps:
      - run: choco install gh
      - run: gh version
