+# fatt/installer-action
+
+This action enables you to install `fatt` on your runner. During installation the integrity of `fatt` is verified based on it's cosign signature.
+
+For a quick start guide on the usage of `fatt`, please refer to https://github.com/philips-labs/fatt#quick-start.
+For available `cosign` releases, see https://github.com/sigstore/cosign/releases.
+
+## Usage
+
+This action currently supports GitHub-provided Linux, macOS and Windows runners.
+
+Add the following entry to your Github workflow YAML file:
+
+```yaml
+uses: philips-labs/fatt/installer-action@main
+with:
+  fatt-release: 'v0.2.0' # optional
+  install-path: '.fatt/bin' #optional
+```
+
+Now you can use fatt to `list` and `publish` attestations. Keep in mind to add `packages: write` permission if you want to publish the attestations to oci.
+
+## Example
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  publish-attestations:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
+
+    permissions:
+      packages: write
+
