Set up environment
To design RPA in Bot Tasks or test a Business Process on your local workstation, we require you to run Windows OS and install the IA Cloud Developer environment as it provides RPA local execution, local Control Tower and all required components. However, IDEA works under Mac and Linux. In this case, you can skip installing IA Cloud Developer. But note that you won't have local Control Tower and WorkSpace and won't test RPA Bot Tasks on the local workstation.
tip
If you install the development environment on a customer-provided VDI and deal with proxies, see Install IA Cloud Developer to VDI.
After the software installation, you can proceed with the ODF project start.
