Keeping up to date

Update the uip CLI, supporting tools, and installed skills automatically or on demand.

The CLI and skills evolve continually. Keeping both current means your coding agent works from the latest UiPath patterns and commands.

Automatic updates

By default, the first eligible uip command you run each day checks for and applies compatible updates to the CLI and your installed skills. Each supporting tool is checked once per day when you first use it. If the CLI is updated, it re-runs your original command on the updated version.

Automatic updates do not cross major CLI versions. They are also skipped when you pin an exact CLI version, use environment-variable authentication in a CI or headless environment, use the CLI bundled with Studio, or set UIPATH_CLI_DISABLE_VERSION_SYNC.

These updates require access to the UiPath npm packages. If your organization restricts npm access, see Restricted networks and internal npm registries.

The steps below are for updating immediately rather than waiting for the automatic update to run.

Update everything at once

  1. Run the combined update command:

    uip update
    uip update
    

Result: the CLI, installed tools, and installed skills are updated. Use this command explicitly when you want to move to a new major CLI version.

Update only the skills

  1. Run uip skills update to refresh the installed skills for the coding agents on your machine.

Result: your installed skills match the latest published versions.

Tip:

Refresh your skills after you hear that new ones have shipped, or whenever your agent seems unaware of a UiPath capability you expect it to support.
