```
rm -f sherpa-robot.zip
```

* Download the file sherpa-robot.zip:

```
wget https://sherparpa.ru/downloads/linux/get-robot.php -O sherpa-robot.zip
```

* Unpack the ZIP archive:

```
sudo unzip -o sherpa-robot.zip -d /usr/lib
```

* Go to the sherpa-robot folder and set execution permissions for the files:

  * Make the install\_host.sh script executable:

  `sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/sherpa-robot/Chrome/install_host.sh`

  * Make the process-agent-host file executable:

  `sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/sherpa-robot/Chrome/process-agent-host`

  * Make the process-agent file executable:

  `sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/sherpa-robot/process-agent`

  * Make the sherpa-assistant file executable:

  `sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/sherpa-robot/sherpa-assistant`

  * Make the sherpa-assistant-console file executable:

  `sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/sherpa-robot/sherpa-assistant-console`

> To install or update the Robot to the latest version, you can enter this command in the terminal. It combines all the commands described above: `rm -f sherpa-robot.zip && wget https://sherparpa.ru/downloads/linux/get-robot.php -O sherpa-robot.zip && sudo unzip -o sherpa-robot.zip -d /usr/lib && sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/sherpa-robot/Chrome/install_host.sh && sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/sherpa-robot/Chrome/process-agent-host && sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/sherpa-robot/process-agent && sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/sherpa-robot/sherpa-assistant && sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/sherpa-robot/sherpa-assistant-console`

## Adding Users to Run Unattended Robots

**Execute in the terminal:**

* Launch the management center:

```
sudo fly-admin-center
```

* Go to "Security" → "Security Policy" or select the item in the Start menu → "System" → "Security Policy".
* The initial setup for:

  * Adding a shortcut for Sherpa Assistant,
  * Adding shortcuts to startup for Unattended robots,
  * Specifying the Orchestrator server for Unattended robots,
  * Specifying the GUID of Robots for Unattended robot accounts.

  You must first create accounts on which the Unattended robots will run:

  * Make the post-configure file executable:

  `sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/sherpa-robot/post-configure/post-configure`

  * Run the post-configure file with administrator privileges:

  `sudo /usr/lib/sherpa-robot/post-configure/post-configure`

You will see the main menu with commands:

1. The command creates shortcuts for Sherpa Assistant on the desktop, as well as in the Start menu → "Development".
2. The command removes shortcuts for Sherpa Assistant.
3. The command creates a shortcut in the user's startup to launch the Unattended robot.
4. The command removes the shortcut to launch the Unattended robot.
5. The command allows you to enter the Orchestrator server and specify the GUID of Robots.

All commands can be executed either for all accounts or selectively:

## Installing Yandex Browser

To enable the Robot to work with Yandex Browser, you need to install a plugin.

This action needs to be performed for each account separately.

* Open the browser and go to the "Extensions" section.
* Launch the file manager and go to the folder:

```
/usr/lib/sherpa-robot/Chrome
```

* Drag the file plugin.crx into the browser window.
* Add the extension and close the browser.
* Open a terminal window in the current folder:

```
./install_host.sh
```

* Launch the browser.

If the Sherpa RPA plugin icon has turned blue, the plugin has been successfully installed.

The plugin can also be installed from the website:

And after that, perform steps 4, 5, and 6.
