Set up local 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 Work.AI Developer environment as it provides RPA local execution, local Control Tower and all required components. However, Eclipse IDE works under Mac and Linux. In this case, you can skip installing Work.AI Developer. But note that you won't have local Control Tower and Workspace and won't test RPA Bot Tasks on the local workstation.
If you skip installing the latest Developer, before starting your project with Eclipse, ensure you have the Archetypes repository specified in your settings.xml. This is WorkFusion-provided public repository where Eclipse gets Maven project archetypes.
If your organization does not allow access to public Maven repositories (or even any Internet resources), you need to point your settings.xml to your company's local internal Nexus. To do that, instead of https://repository.workfusion.com/... URLs, specify internal one.
If you install the development environment on a customer-provided VDI and deal with proxies, see Install Work.AI Developer to VDI.
After the software installations and configuration specific to your organization or network are complete, you can proceed with creating a project.
