Hi Imayavathi:

From the Appian RPA 9.0.0 version ,it is available two new Excel Modules in the RPA pattern that you must use instead of the library. https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.1/rpa-9.0/actions-excel-nolicense.html and https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.1/rpa-9.0/actions-excel-license-required.html.

But answering your question, to install the library, you must uncompress first the downloaded file. It contains a Readme.pdf file with the documentation and a zip file with the library ( rpa-excel-low-code-methods-1.2.0.zip )

In this case, you must use "Initialization with URL" and the URL parameter must be the full path of the Excel file.

But in any case, if you want to filling data in the excel file, I recommend you to use the Appian RPA Excel Library that was recently published in the Appian App Market

It contains more completed methods to interact with Excel.
