The {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql_cli %} download package is a tar archive containing tools, scripts, and various {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %}-specific files. If you don’t have a {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} license then, by downloading this archive, you are agreeing to the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} Terms and Conditions.
You should download the {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} bundle from https://github.com/github/codeql-action/releases. The bundle contains:
- {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql_cli %} product
- A compatible version of the queries and libraries from https://github.com/github/codeql
- Precompiled versions of all the queries included in the bundle
{% ifversion ghes %}
{% note %} For {% data variables.product.product_name %}{% ifversion ghes %} {{ allVersions[currentVersion].currentRelease }}{% endif %}, we recommend {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql_cli %} version {% data variables.product.codeql_cli_ghes_recommended_version %}. {% endnote %}
{% endif %}
You should always use the {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} bundle as this ensures compatibility and also gives much better performance than a separate download of the {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql_cli %} and checkout of the {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} queries. If you will only be running the CLI on one specific platform, download the appropriate codeql-bundle-PLATFORM.tar.gz file. Alternatively, you can download codeql-bundle.tar.gz, which contains the CLI for all supported platforms.
