# uipathctl prereq create

> Create external prerequisites like databases and storage buckets in Automation Suite.

## Description

Creates the external prerequisites. These are primarily object storage buckets and SQL databases. The SQL databases required for the installation are created on the SQL server if the `sql.create_db key` is set in the config file. The object storage buckets are created in the cloud provider if the `object_storage.create_bucket` key is set in the config file.
