Automation Suite on Linux installation guide

Last updated Nov 13, 2025

Downloading the installation packages and getting all the files on the first server node

Step 1.1: Preparing the installation folder

Create the installation folder by running the following command on the server node on which you plan to execute the upgrade. The upgrade process moves the files from the following location to the appropriate location.

sudo su -
mkdir -p /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/latestsudo su -
mkdir -p /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/latest
Note:
The upgrade process uses the /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/<version>/installer directory for internal operations. Do not create this file path and download the upgrade packages to this directory.

Step 1.2: Downloading the installation packages

To retrieve the installation packages, use the following options:
  • Option A: Move the as-installer.zip contents from the temporary location created in Step 7 to the installation folder. The preferred location is /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/<version>/.
  • Option B: Download the installation package and unzip it:

    Required packageDownload instructionsLocation
    as-installer.zipSee as-installer.zip for download instructions.

    On the first server node, on which you plan to trigger the upgrade.

    Preferred location: /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/latest/
Note:

You must perform this step on a machine with Internet access, as follows:

  • Online installation - You can download the file on the Automation Suite machines.
  • Offline installation - You need a temporary management machine with internet access to download the file and then transfer it to the Automation Suite machines.
Based on your configuration, you may need to download additional packages. For download instructions, refer to Installation packages download links.

Step 1.3: Unzipping the installation packages

Unzip the installation packages on all the Automation Suite machines by running the following command:

cd /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/latest
unzip as-installer.zip -d installer
chmod 755 -R /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/latest/installercd /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/latest
unzip as-installer.zip -d installer
chmod 755 -R /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/latest/installer
Verify the uipathctl version by running the following command:
cd /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/latest/installer
./bin/uipathctl versioncd /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/latest/installer
./bin/uipathctl version
Note:
If you perform the steps described on this page, the installer files are extracted to the /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/<version>/installer folder. All our installation instructions assume that you use this folder, so we recommend using it as well.
