Thanks @Susana for your reply.
First of all I do not want to use Orchestrator. I wan to use Robot API.
XAML is working for me with Command line as well as Robot API.

Issue is with running NUPKG files, please see the issue detail and screenshot and suggest how to run NUPKG files using Robot Service NOT Orchestrator. Thanks in advance.

Hello @adil.khurshed,

if you do not want to use Orchestrator then you can not use rest command:

For running an automation project firstly you need to decompress it

Take a look,

Hi I just wanted to download and run a “. NUPKG” file in a UiPath community edition. But I am unable to do so. I can do it all with codes in WinRAR format where I just had to extract and run .Kindly help me!! Please!!!

Hey DOUBLE CLICK on the and select “uipath” TO RUN.

Thanks for the reply,
but this wont work.
I have tried this long back but it just opens the xaml file in uipath,It Won’t execute it. Anyway thanks for the reply. i found another solution to achieve the same.

Move the folder of the project (that contain the versions of the robot) on Desktop. You should run them now, by using “C.…\Uirobot.exe” -file “C.…\Main.xaml”.
Not a permanent solution, but it should do your work.

If you want to run the nupkg from the publishing folder with UiRobot it won’t work.

try use this command and see if it will works.
cd (path where your your robot exist)
(ex: C:\Users\Test1\AppData\Local\UiPath\app-20.4.0-beta0472)

UiRobot.exe execute --file “(path of where your file is)” (ex:C:\ProgramData\UiPath\Packages\Hello.World.1.0.2.nupkg")
Note:- (the path should be between double qoutes)

so your full command should be like this without (cd)
C:\Users\Test1\AppData\Local\UiPath\app-20.4.0-beta0472\UiRobot.exe execute --file “C:\ProgramData\UiPath\Packages\Hello.World.1.0.2.nupkg”
