title: How to execute a workflow on a PC which doesn't have the UiPath Studio or UiPath Robot installed?
body: <p>How to execute a workflow on a PC which doesn't have the <em>UiPath Studio</em> or <em>UiPath Robot</em> installed?</p>
  
  <p>I have been working with UiPath to automate workflows using <em>UiPath Studio</em> and <em>UiPath Robot</em> (both locally and on localhost through Orchestrator) and was successful.</p>
  
  <p>I have been through the following videos from <code>academy.uipath</code> :</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><em>Lesson Orchestrator 2018.2 - Video Part 1</em></li>
  <li><em>Lesson Orchestrator 2018.2 - Video Part 2</em></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I am aware I need to:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Add a host as a <em>Standard Machine</em> first</li>
  <li>Then add a <em>Standard Robot</em></li>
  <li>Further provision the <em>Robot</em> within the <em>Orchestrator</em> settings.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Now I want to execute a workflow on a bare PC which doesn't have either the <em>UiPath Studio</em> or <em>UiPath Robot</em> installed.</p>
  
  <p>So my questions are:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>(Q1): Is an installation of <em>UiPath Studio</em> and/or <em>UiPath Robot</em> the bare minimum requirement to execute a workflow through a UiPath Robot, guided through the <em>UiPath Orchestrator</em>?</li>
  <li><em>Windows Installation</em> can be done through:
  
  <ul>
  <li><code>UiPathPlatformInstaller.exe</code></li>
  <li><code>UiPathStudio.msi</code></li>
  </ul></li>
  <li>(Q2): Can I install <em>UiPath Robot</em> <strong>only</strong> (excluding the UiPath Studio) using either of the installers?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I had used the <code>UiPathStudioSetup</code> <em>Application</em> which installs both <em>UiPath Studio</em> and <em>UiPath Robot</em> by default. So:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>(Q3): Would <code>UiPathPlatformInstaller.exe</code> allow me to install the <em>UiPath Robot</em> individually?</li>
  <li>(Q4): Would a Robot installed through <code>UiPathPlatformInstaller.exe</code> communicate with <em>Orchestrator CE</em></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Note</strong>: As per <a href="https://www.uipath.com/freetrial-or-community" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Free Trial or Community Edition UiPath RPA Software</a> my understanding is:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><code>UiPathStudio.msi</code> is for <em>The UiPath Community Edition</em></li>
  <li><code>UiPathPlatformInstaller.exe</code> is for <em>The UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform</em></li>
  <li>(Q5): Am I correct?</li>
  </ul>
