Jenkins(Linux) UiPath plugin ...cannot find Powershell.exe

Help
1

Trying to setup up a CI/CD pipeline in Jenkins(running on Linux) for UiPath build/deploy.

Installed UiPath and Powershell plugins in Jenkins.

But, UiPath Pack cannot run Powershell.exe.

Has anyone got the UiPath/Powershell plugin to work on Jenkins hosted on Linux?

Thanks for your help.
