# Packing projects into a package

> * Create projects.
* Run the CLI `exe` (for Windows) or `dll` (for Linux) file.
* Add the required Orchestrator [API access application scopes](https://docs.uipath.com/cicd-integrations/standalone/2024.10/user-guide/executing-uipath-cli-tasks).

## Prerequisites

* Create projects.
* Run the CLI `exe` (for Windows) or `dll` (for Linux) file.
* Add the required Orchestrator [API access application scopes](https://docs.uipath.com/cicd-integrations/standalone/2024.10/user-guide/executing-uipath-cli-tasks).

:::note
You can also create the package locally without the need for Orchestrator scopes.
:::

To pack a project into a package, take the following steps:

1. Run the `package` task, using `uipcli package`. You can notice a list of the available sub-tasks.
2. Specify the required parameters and run the `pack` sub-task.
   The following table describes the required parameters.

:::note
Project validation is not performed by the Pack or Analyze tasks of UiPath CLI.
