UiPath CLI

UiPath® offers a command-line interface (CLI) that allows you to execute certain pre-defined tasks for RPA package management and testing. The purpose of the UiPath CLI is to easily integrate those capabilities with third-party tools like GitLab, Jenkins, and many others, without a plugin.

Note:

UiPath CLI can be used with Orchestrator deployed via Automation Cloud™ , Automation Suite, or standalone.

Common use cases for the UiPath CLI involve:

  • Packing Studio projects into NuGet packages.
  • Deploying NuGet packages to Orchestrator.
  • Running jobs in Orchestrator.
  • Running Test Sets in Orchestrator.

UiPath CLI consists of two types:

  1. UiPath.CLI.Windows

    • Runs on Windows devices only.
    • Builds Windows - Legacy,Windows, and Cross-platform projects.
  2. UiPath.CLI

    • Runs on Linux devices only.
    • Builds only Cross-platform projects.
Note:
  • UiPath CLI does not support SSO connection.

  • UiPath CLI cannot be used to build projects that use Local Triggers.

Prerequisites

  • For UiPath.CLI, install .NET 6.0.7, that comes with the 6.0.302 SDK, or higher.
  • For UiPath.CLI.Windows, install .NET 6.0.7or higher. You must also install .NET Desktop Runtime, that comes with the .NET SDK as well.

Downloading the CLI

You can download any version of the UiPath CLI from the UiPath Official Public Feed, to find the right version for your project, review the compatibility matrix below.

  1. Go to the UiPath Official Public Feed.
  2. In the Filter by keywords search bar, type uipath.cli.

  4. Go to the Versions tab, and select a version of the CLI that you want to download.
  5. Select Download.
  6. Open the folder where the NUPKG file is downloaded, right-click it, and extract the file into a folder.
Results: A folder with the same name as the NUPKG file is created. This folder holds the contents of the UiPath CLI. The entrypoint for all operations is uipcli.exe (for UiPath.CLI.Windows), or uipcli.dll (for UiPath.CLI), located in the tools folder.
