Install dependencies

Samples

Basic

• main.yml

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
  
      - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v2
        with:
          python-version: '3.x'
  
      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          python -m pip install --upgrade pip
          pip install -r requirements.txt
  

Cache

Store and retrieved cached dependencies for a faster build. Add this step to the config above, before the Install dependencies step.

• main.yml

    steps:
      - name: Cache dependencies
        uses: actions/cache@v2
        with:
          path: ~/.cache/pip
          key: ${{ runner.os }}-pip-${{ hashFiles('docs/requirements.txt') }}
          restore-keys: |
            ${{ runner.os }}-pip-
            ${{ runner.os }}-
  

Notes:

• path - the path used here is specific to Ubuntu so change it if using other OS runners.
• key - look to see if there is a cache hit for the corresponding requirements file.
• Adjust the hashFiles input if your requirements file is at the root.
