The installation path depends on whether the package serves an existing UiPath process or a new one.

​
Install the package for an existing UiPath process

All UiPath processes consist of various activities. When a Robot launches a process, or when UiPath Studio opens one, it searches the available activity feeds for the relevant activities and downloads them. To open the sample ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Processor process, place the Abbyy.FlexiCapture.WebApi.Client.nupkg and Abbyy.Activities.UiPath.FlexiCaptureActivities.nupkg packages in an activity feed that the Robot can reach.

​
Place the packages in the Robot’s local feed

Copy both packages into the folder that matches your UiPath edition:
  • UiPath Community Edition – %LocalAppData%\UiPath\app-xx.x.x\Packages, where xx.x.x is the UiPath version number
  • UiPath Enterprise Edition – C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Studio\Packages
To find the path to the Robot’s local feed, open UiPath Studio and open the Settings tab. Then select Local in Manage Sources.

​
Place the packages in the Orchestrator activity feed

Packages in the Orchestrator activity feed are available to every Robot connected to Orchestrator, which cuts the time needed to update a package for all of them. Use the method for your UiPath edition:
  • UiPath Community Edition – Go to the cloud Orchestrator and select Processes → Packages. Then click Upload and upload the Abbyy.FlexiCapture.WebApi.Client.nupkg and Abbyy.Activities.UiPath.FlexiCaptureActivities.nupkg packages one after another.
    Screenshot of the Packages page in UiPath Orchestrator, where the Upload button is highlighted and the uploaded Abbyy.Activities.UiPath.FlexiCaptureActivities, Abbyy.FlexiCapture.WebApi.Client, and Abbyy.UiPath.FlexiCapture.MultiTaskActivities packages are listed.
  • UiPath Enterprise Edition – Copy the packages to the Orchestrator activity feed. By default it is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Orchestrator\NuGetPackages\Activities on a machine that has Orchestrator installed. You can also download the packages on the Libraries tab in the Orchestrator web application.
For more information about activity feeds, see the UiPath documentation.

​
Add the package to a new UiPath process

To use the Capture Data activity in a new process, or to add it to an existing one, include the Abbyy.Activities.UiPath.FlexiCaptureActivities.nupkg activity package in the dependencies of the process.
