## Summary - install the Supabase CLI through the `supabase` npm package instead of GitHub release archives - support npm-backed `latest`, `beta`, and fixed published versions, with root lockfile detection preserved - remove the `github-token` input and use Node.js/npm without clobbering an already configured Node.js 20+ runtime - update CI/docs for the v3 action contract and remove stale license cache entries for removed dependencies Addresses CLI-1480: https://linear.app/supabase/issue/CLI-1480/source-cli-install-from-npm-registry No earlier pull request found to supersede. ## Validation - `bun run ci` - real npm install spot checks for `supabase@latest`, `supabase@beta`, `supabase@1.178.2`, `supabase@2.33.0`, and legacy `supabase@1.15.1` preinstall handling - external fixture run: https://github.com/jgoux/setup-cli-testing/actions/runs/28656824691 - hosted runners: Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows for `latest`, `beta`, `1.178.2`, and `2.33.0` - package-lock detection: resolved and installed `supabase@2.108.0` - legacy preinstall: installed `supabase@1.15.1` - Node preservation: kept a caller-provided Node.js 22 runtime active after the action - Alpine 3.20 container: `latest`, `beta`, and `2.100.0`, including Node.js 20+ and runtime dependency checks - Alpine 3.18 container: rejected Node.js 18 with a clear setup error

The Supabase CLI Action provides an easy way to install the Supabase CLI on GitHub Actions runners.
The action supports ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, and macos-latest, and
adds the requested supabase version to PATH for the rest of the job.
If version is omitted, the action checks the repository root for bun.lock,
pnpm-lock.yaml, or package-lock.json and otherwise falls back to npm
latest.
The action uses an existing Node.js/npm runtime when one is already available, and requires Node.js 20 or newer. On non-musl runners without Node.js or npm, it provisions them internally. Runners only need network access to the npm registry.
Quick Start
This example runs Supabase migrations on every pull request:
name: test-migrations
on:
pull_request:
jobs:
test-migrations:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v6
- uses: supabase/setup-cli@v3
- run: supabase init
- run: supabase db start
To pin a fixed npm-published CLI version:
- uses: supabase/setup-cli@v3
with:
version: 2.84.2
To test the current beta release:
- uses: supabase/setup-cli@v3
with:
version: beta
