  1. Select the operating system image and architecture of your self-hosted runner machine.

    Screenshot of the choice of operating system and architecture. These options are highlighted with a dark orange outline.

  2. You will see instructions showing you how to download the runner application and install it on your self-hosted runner machine.

    Open a shell on your self-hosted runner machine and run each shell command in the order shown.

    {% note %}

    Note: On Windows, if you want to install the self-hosted runner application as a service, you must open a shell with administrator privileges. We also recommend that you use C:\actions-runner as the directory for the self-hosted runner application so that Windows system accounts can access the runner directory.

    {% endnote %}

    The instructions walk you through completing these tasks:

    • Downloading and extracting the self-hosted runner application.
    • Running the config script to configure the self-hosted runner application and register it with {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}. The config script requires the destination URL and an automatically-generated time-limited token to authenticate the request.
      • On Windows, the config script also asks if you would like to install the self-hosted runner application as a service. For Linux and macOS, you can install a service after you finish adding the runner. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."
    • Running the self-hosted runner application to connect the machine to {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}.
