Archive Structure

This action expects Binary Ninja archives (binaryninja.7z) to be stored in the binaryninja/<version>/ directory of this action repository. The archive should be password-protected and contain:

• A binaryninja directory (this will be extracted to /opt/binaryninja)
• A license.dat file (this will be extracted to ~/.binaryninja/license.dat)

Example structure within the binaryninja.7z archive:

binaryninja/
  # ... Binary Ninja files and folders ...
license.dat

And the action repository should have:

binaryninja/
  <version>/
    binaryninja.7z

The .gitignore file is configured to ignore the .zip files in these directories.
