UiPath CLI user guide
uip rpa restore downloads the package dependencies declared in a Studio project's project.json into a local folder, so the project can be packed, analyzed, or opened offline. It is the modern replacement for uipcli package restore from the legacy .NET CLI — see Migration — package restore for the full flag-to-flag map.
Runtime requirements
- .NET runtime must be available on the runner — restore uses the NuGet-backed pipeline of the Studio packager. See Breaking changes — .NET runtime.
- Windows runner for Windows projects. Cross-platform projects (
targetFramework: "Portable") restore on any OS. Windows projects (targetFramework: "Windows") need a Windows runner so Windows-only NuGet dependencies resolve. See uip rpa overview for the full project-flavor matrix.
Synopsis
uip rpa restore <project> [outputPath] [options]
uip rpa restore <project> [outputPath] [options]
<project>— path to the Studio project (a directory containingproject.json).[outputPath]— optional local folder to write dependencies into. If omitted, the tool uses its default location (the project's local packages cache).
For the complete option list on your installed tool version, run:
uip rpa restore --help
uip rpa restore --help
The flag set mirrors legacy uipcli package restore in concept: additional feed URLs for private feeds, credentials, NuGet config overrides, and proxy configuration. Flag names are kebab-case (--orchestrator-url, --nuget-config-file-path, --feed-url) rather than the PascalCase used by uipcli.
Migration from the legacy .NET CLI
| Legacy .NET CLI | Modern CLI |
|---|---|
uipcli package restore <project> | uip rpa restore <project> |
uipcli package restore <project> <outputPath> | uip rpa restore <project> <outputPath> |
See Migration — package restore for the full flag-level map.
