We created a function, and took .dll files of that function and converted them into .nupkg files and save that in UiPath packages folder in program files. Now we want to install the packages we saved in UiPath, but I am not able to see the packages in “Manage Packages” in UiPath. Please guide how can I install the packages in UiPath?

Did you try unchecking Filter Activities check box on the left bottom of Packages window?

Hi,

Do you have any class inheriting from Activity classes (Activity, CodeActivity, NativeActivity)?
If no, do you have an IRegisterMetadata implementation in that .dll?

Please check articles linked by @vvaidya carefully and maybe try to create a simple activity with w/e in it, just to see if you can import.

Regards,
Andrzej

I have found the activity and installed it, But I am not able to call the activity in my script. I installed ITextSharp activity to merge PDF. Ideally, I should be able to call it via “Merge.MergePDF (destination, source)”, but I am unable to see it in UiPath activity or directly call it via script. Could you please help?

You can configure source path as follows goto-> packages->Avaliable->right click->Configure Sources to set the path where the UiPath should search the Activity package, refer to the screenshot as well
