How-to guides overview

How-to guides are task-oriented walkthroughs: you have a specific outcome in mind, the page shows the exact commands to get there. Unlike Concepts (which explain how the CLI is organized) and the Command reference (which lists every flag), how-tos start from a real goal and end with a working pipeline you can copy.

For platform-specific complete pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI), see CI/CD recipes — the section right below this one in the sidebar.

The five how-tos

Seite (Page)	Goal	Tools used
Pack and publish a Solution	Versioning discipline, multi-environment promotion, rollback. The full Solution lifecycle from a working laptop.	uip solution pack / publish / deploy
Deploy to Orchestrator from CI	The platform-agnostic principles behind every CI recipe: auth, caching, tool pre-install, version pinning.	uip login, uip tools install, uip solution …
Run tests in a pipeline	The launch → wait → verify pattern for Test Manager. Why a single command is not enough to fail a build on red tests.	uip tm testset execute / wait / report get
Deploy an Agent	Full agent lifecycle: scaffold, validate, pack, publish, deploy. Contrast with Solution-based deployment.	uip agent init / validate / pack / publish / deploy / run
Manage Orchestrator assets and queues	Bulk-deploy assets from CSV, upload bucket files, dispatch queue work, manage triggers and webhooks.	uip resource …

Where to start

New to the CLI? Read Quickstart and Your first pipeline first — both are in Get started. They give you the basic command shapes the how-tos build on.

Shipping a Solution end-to-end? Read in this order:

1. Pack and publish a Solution — versioning + multi-tenant promotion.
2. Deploy to Orchestrator from CI — the principles you'll apply in your platform's recipe.
3. Run tests in a pipeline — wire the launch-wait-verify chain into the deploy.
4. Pick a CI/CD recipe.

Working with Agents? Deploy an Agent is the standalone path. Skip Solution packaging unless your agent ships alongside RPA workflows.

Managing live tenant resources outside a Solution? Manage Orchestrator assets and queues is the catalog of uip resource patterns.

What's not in How-to guides

• First-time setup. That's Installing UiPath CLI.
• The why behind a command. That's Concepts and individual reference pages.
• Per-platform YAML/Groovy. That's CI/CD recipes.
• Per-flag detail. That's Command reference.
