Hardware and software requirements

Hardware requirements

The following hardware specifications list the minimum and recommended resources for a single robot to execute jobs.

Important:

These requirements only consider the resources needed for the automation, and do not include the resources used by other applications involved in the automations.

Resource

Minimum

Recommended

CPU (*)

  • For Intel x64: 2 x 1.8GHz 64-bit

  • For ARM64: Apple M1

  • For Intel x64: 4 x 2.4GHz 64-bit

  • For ARM64: Apple M1

RAM (**)

4 GB

8 GB

Disk Space (***)

UiPathStudio.msi:

  • 3.4 GB for new silent installations. 1 GB of additional space is required for UI-based installations.
  • 3.4 - 3.8 GB for automatic updates (varies depending on the version you are updating from). 1 GB of additional space is required for UI-based updates.
UiPathRobot.msi:
  • 1.6 GB for new silent installations and updates.
  • 1.9 GB for UI-based installations and updates.
(*) UiPath does not support the ARM architecture on Windows.

(**) Automations that use Document Understanding frameworks might need additional RAM.

(***) The disk space requirements do not include the space for the automation dependencies, such as packages and libraries.

Hardware requirements for High-Density Robots

For a High-Density setup, where multiple robots concurrently execute jobs on the same Windows Server machine, you must multiply the minimum and recommended hardware requirements with the number of runtimes set for the machine template in Orchestrator.

For example, with three users concurrently executing jobs, the minimum requirements are:

  • For Intel x64, you need six cores of 1.8GHz 64-bit (two cores of 1.8GHz 64-bit per runtime), and a RAM of 12 GB (4 cores per runtime).

Hardware requirements for the live streaming and recording features

For scenarios where the live streaming and recording features are required, you must apply the recommended hardware requirements:

  • CPU— For Intel x64: 4 x 2.4GHz 64-bit

  • RAM—8 GB

Software requirements

The following software specifications list the minimum and recommended resources for a single robot to execute jobs.

Important:

These requirements only consider the resources needed for the automation, and do not include the resources used by other applications involved in the automations.
