Is enabling Actions of the forked repository required when setup?

[yihuajack]

At first I failed to update my gist completing all the steps in README. Then I found a step "Open the 'Actions' tab of your fork and click the 'enable' button" in another box project's README (Step 2 of "Project setup") (https://github.com/maxam2017/productive-box). I re-forked this repository, tried this step, and followed the following steps, then I found my gist successfully updated. Is enabling Actions of the forked repository required when setup? If so, I suggest add this step in place in README.
