Installation Guides

Install the tools you need before starting the workshop.

Prerequisites

Before the main setup, make sure you have these installed:

Node.js (LTS) — required for the UiPath CLI and the React app build.

  1. Download the LTS version from nodejs.org
  2. Verify with node --version and npm --version

npm version must be 11.x.x

If npm --version returns a different version, upgrade it:

npm install --global npm@11

npm install -g npm@11

Python 3.10+ — required for the coded underwriting agent.

  1. Download from python.org/downloads — on Windows, check Add Python to PATH during install
  2. Verify with python --version or python3 --version

.NET SDK 8.0 — required to build and run the UiPath Studio project.

  1. Download from dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/8.0 — or on Mac, install via Homebrew: 
    brew install --cask dotnet-sdk
  2. Verify with dotnet --list-sdks — you should see 8.x.x in the output

Windows — make sure .NET is on your PATH

If dotnet is not recognised after install, add it to the PATH manually in PowerShell: 

$env:Path = "C:\Program Files\dotnet;$env:Path"
dotnet --list-sdks

UiPath Studio — required to open, run, and debug the generated XAML workflow. Currently supported on Windows only; Mac support is coming soon.

  1. Download from uipath.com/start-trial
  2. Sign in with your UiPath account and verify Studio launches

Git — required for the UiPath skills marketplace. Try Method 1 first; if it doesn't work, use Method 2.

  1. Open a terminal and run: 
    winget install --id Git.Git -e --source winget
  2. If prompted to accept terms, type Y and press Enter.
  3. Wait for "Successfully installed", then close the window.
  1. Go to git-scm.com/download/win — the 64-bit installer should download automatically.
  2. Run the downloaded file (e.g. Git-2.xx.x-64-bit.exe). Click Yes if Windows asks for admin permission.
  3. Click through the installer accepting all defaults. On the "Adjusting your PATH environment" screen, make sure the middle option is selected: "Git from the command line and also from 3rd-party software" — this is the default.
  4. Click Finish when done.

Required for both methods

PATH changes only take effect in new windows. Close every open terminal, then open a fresh Command Prompt and verify: 

git --version
You should see something like git version 2.45.1.windows.1.

Install a Coding Agent

Pick one — or install both:

# Claude Code (Anthropic)
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

# Codex CLI (OpenAI)
npm install -g @openai/codex

Verify: claude --version or codex --version

Claude Code installation error?

If the install fails with a scripts permission error, run: 

npm config set allow-scripts=@anthropic-ai/claude-code --location=user
Then run the install command again: 
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
