Actions can be explicitly invoked, or run in response to an event. In either
case, each run of an action results in an activation record that is identified
by a unique activation ID. The input to an action and the result of an action
are a dictionary of key-value pairs, where the key is a string and the value a
valid JSON value. Actions can also be composed of calls to other actions or a
defined sequence of actions.
+## Prerequisites

+You will need to use OpenWhisk CLI. Read how to use it when running OpenWhisk
from a VM
[here](https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/blob/master/tools/vagrant/README.md#using-cli-from-outside-the-vm).
Or download binaries for your platform
[here](https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-cli/releases). You can
also download the CLI directly from your local installation at the
_https://<IP_ADDRESS>/cli/go/download/_ path.

The CLI automatically infers the type of the action by using the source file
extension. For `.js` source files, the action runs by using a Node.js 6
runtime. You can also create an action that runs with Node.js 8 by explicitly
specifying the parameter `--kind nodejs:8`. For more information, see the
Node.js 6 vs 8
