Automation Suite on Linux installation guide

Last updated Mar 26, 2026

Adding a dedicated agent node with GPU support

Note:

Automation Suite currently supports only Nvidia GPU drivers. See the list of GPU-supported operating systems. For more on the cloud-specific instance types, see the following:

Installing a GPU driver on the machine

Note:
  • The following instructions apply to both online and offline Automation Suite installations. In the case of offline installations, you must ensure temporary internet access to retrieve the required GPU driver dependencies. If you encounter issues while installing the GPU driver, contact Nvidia support.
  • The GPU driver is stored under the /opt/nvidia and /usr folders. It is highly recommended that these folders should be at-least 5 GB and 15 GB, respectively, on the GPU agent machine.

To install the GPU driver on the agent node, refer to the Nvidia installation instructions. Ensure that you follow all instructions provided, including those in any linked resources.

To install the Nvidia Container Toolkit, refer to the Nvidia container toolkit installation guide.

To verify proper driver installation, run the sudo nvidia-smi command on the node, as shown in the following example:

Adding a GPU node to the cluster

Step 1: Configuring the machine

To ensure the disk is partitioned correctly and all networking requirements are met, see Step 6: Configuring the disks.

Step 2: Copying the interactive installer to the target machine

  1. SSH to any of the server machine.
  2. Run the following command to copy the contents of the UiPathAutomationSuite folder to the GPU node (username and DNS are specific to the GPU node):
    sudo su -
    scp -r /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite <username>@<node dns>:/opt/
    scp -r ~/* <username>@<node dns>:/opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/
    sudo su -
    scp -r /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite <username>@<node dns>:/opt/
    scp -r ~/* <username>@<node dns>:/opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/
    

Step 3: Running the interactive installer to configure the dedicated node

  1. SSH to the GPU Node.
  2. Run the following commands:
    sudo su -
    cd /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite
    chmod -R 755 /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite
    yum install unzip jq -y
    CONFIG_PATH=/opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/cluster_config.json 
    
    install-uipath.sh -i /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/cluster_config.json -o output.json -k -j gpu --accept-license-agreement
    sudo su -
    cd /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite
    chmod -R 755 /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite
    yum install unzip jq -y
    CONFIG_PATH=/opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/cluster_config.json 
    
    install-uipath.sh -i /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/cluster_config.json -o output.json -k -j gpu --accept-license-agreement
    

Enabling the GPU on the cluster

  1. Log in to any server node.
  2. Navigate to the installer folder (UiPathAutomationSuite).
    cd /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite
    cd /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite
    
  3. Enable the GPU on the cluster by running the following command on any server node:
    sudo ./configureUiPathAS.sh gpu enable
    sudo ./configureUiPathAS.sh gpu enable
