No, you do not need to install UiPath Studio on a virtual machine (VM) to run a process using the UiPath Assistant. UiPath Assistant is designed to run processes independently of UiPath Studio. UiPath Studio is used for developing and publishing automation workflows, whereas UiPath Assistant is used for running the automations.

Here’s what you need for each scenario:

  1. Running a Process from a Virtual Machine using UiPath Assistant*:
  • You only need to install UiPath Assistant on the VM.
  • The process (package) that you want to run needs to be published to UiPath Orchestrator, which the Assistant can then access to execute the process.
  1. For Attended Action Center*:
  • Attended Action Center is used for human-in-the-loop scenarios where an attended robot can request human intervention to complete certain tasks.
  • You do not need UiPath Studio installed for the Attended Action Center.
  • You need to have the UiPath Robot (Assistant) installed, which can run the process that interacts with the Action Center.

To set up a process in a VM using UiPath Assistant:

  • Publish* your automation project from UiPath Studio to UiPath Orchestrator.
  • Provision* the VM as a robot in the Orchestrator.
  • Connect* UiPath Assistant on the VM with the Orchestrator to retrieve the published process.
  • Run* the automation directly from the UiPath Assistant.

For Attended Action Center:

  • Make sure that the VM has access to the Action Center via a web browser or any integrated application.
  • Ensure that the UiPath Assistant (Robot) is connected to the same Orchestrator instance where the Action Center is configured.

Remember, Orchestrator is necessary for centralized process deployment, management, and logging, especially when dealing with VMs and multiple robots. If you are not using Orchestrator, you can manually copy the published package (.nupkg file) to the VM and use UiPath Assistant to run it locally
