Executing Tasks

Running tasks inside the UiPath CLI designed for Windows devices (UiPath.CLI.Windows) requires several tasks.

The main differences between procedures for the UiPath.CLI.Windows and procedures for the UiPath.CLI (UiPath CLI designed for Linux devices), consist in additional arguments that you could pass with some tasks that are specific to the type of device that you are running on.
