Advanced Version Configuration

This document covers advanced options for configuring which version of uv to install.

Install the latest version

- name: Install the latest version of uv
  uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@fac544c07dec837d0ccb6301d7b5580bf5edae39 # v8.2.0
  with:
    version: "latest"

Install a specific version

- name: Install a specific version of uv
  uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@fac544c07dec837d0ccb6301d7b5580bf5edae39 # v8.2.0
  with:
    version: "0.4.4"

Install a version by supplying a semver range or pep440 specifier

You can specify a semver range or pep440 specifier to install the latest version that satisfies the range.

- name: Install a semver range of uv
  uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@fac544c07dec837d0ccb6301d7b5580bf5edae39 # v8.2.0
  with:
    version: ">=0.4.0"
- name: Pinning a minor version of uv
  uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@fac544c07dec837d0ccb6301d7b5580bf5edae39 # v8.2.0
  with:
    version: "0.4.x"
- name: Install a pep440-specifier-satisfying version of uv
  uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@fac544c07dec837d0ccb6301d7b5580bf5edae39 # v8.2.0
  with:
    version: ">=0.4.25,<0.5"

Resolution strategy

By default, when resolving version ranges, setup-uv will install the highest compatible version. You can change this behavior using the resolution-strategy input:

- name: Install the lowest compatible version of uv
  uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@fac544c07dec837d0ccb6301d7b5580bf5edae39 # v8.2.0
  with:
    version: ">=0.4.0"
    resolution-strategy: "lowest"

The supported resolution strategies are:

  • highest (default): Install the latest version that satisfies the constraints
  • lowest: Install the oldest version that satisfies the constraints

This can be useful for testing compatibility with older versions of uv, similar to uv's own --resolution-strategy option.

Install a version defined in a requirements or config file

You can use the version-file input to specify a file that contains the version of uv to install. This can either be a pyproject.toml or uv.toml file which defines a required-version or uv defined as a dependency in pyproject.toml or requirements.txt.

asdf .tool-versions is also supported, but without the ref syntax.

- name: Install uv based on the version defined in pyproject.toml
  uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@fac544c07dec837d0ccb6301d7b5580bf5edae39 # v8.2.0
  with:
    version-file: "pyproject.toml"

If uv is locked as a dependency in your uv.lock, you can point version-file at the lockfile to install the exact pinned version. This keeps CI runs deterministic and avoids silently picking up a newer uv until the lockfile is updated.

- name: Install uv based on the version locked in uv.lock
  uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@fac544c07dec837d0ccb6301d7b5580bf5edae39 # v8.2.0
  with:
    version-file: "uv.lock"
