uip rpa install-or-update-packages

uip rpa install-or-update-packages installs (or updates) a set of NuGet packages into the active project in one batch. The list is supplied as a JSON array — each entry needs an id and may include a version; entries that omit version resolve to the latest stable version on the configured feeds. The verb returns the subset of packages that failed to install, if any, so the call is safe to retry with the failed entries.

The package operation runs through Studio, so the verb requires a Windows runner.

Synopsis

uip rpa install-or-update-packages --packages <string> [--nuget-sources-config-path <string>]

Options

Flag	Description
--packages <string>	JSON array of packages to install or update. Each item must include id and may include version. When version is omitted, the latest stable version is installed. Example: [{"id":"UiPath.System.Activities","version":"23.10.1"},{"id":"UiPath.Excel.Activities"}].
--nuget-sources-config-path <string>	Path to a JSON file with additional NuGet feed sources. Format: [{"Url": "<path-or-url>"}]. Sources are additive — they merge with the user's existing NuGet configuration.
