ArcPro 3.1 Installation Guide

This guide covers the steps to install and license ArcPro 3.1, set up the Python environment, and configure GPT on a development station.

1. Install .NET 6.0 Desktop Runtime

   Download and install .NET 6.0 Desktop Runtime (v6.0.5) for Windows x64 from:

   https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/6.0

2. Install ArcGIS Pro 3.1

   Download and install ArcGIS Pro 3.1 from the official Esri site:

   https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-pro/overview

3. Firewall Exceptions

   If ArcGIS Pro firewall exceptions are not configured on the server, follow this guide:

   https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-pro/resources

4. License ArcGIS Pro

   • Make sure you are on the same subnet as the license server (for example, 10.0.0.129). You may need to connect manually.

   • Open ArcGIS Pro and complete the licensing steps.

   

5. Set Up the Python Environment

   ArcPro manages Python environments and allows you to clone and modify them.

   • Follow this tutorial for cloning the base environment and switching to it in the Python Command Prompt:

     https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/get-started/what-is-conda.htm

   • List the available environments using the command shown below.

   

6. Set Up the Python Interpreter in PyCharm

   • Open GPT3 in PyCharm.

   • Go to File -> Settings -> Project -> Python Interpreter.

   • Select Add Python Interpreter.

   • Choose Conda Environment on the left panel.

   • Choose Existing environment.

   • Browse to the directory of your cloned environment and select python.exe.

   • Click OK to confirm.

   

7. Manage Python Packages

   Download the missing packages that PyCharm indicates are required.

   Use the Anaconda Gallery and install the following packages using conda-forge if available:

   • openpyxl

   • pyyaml

   • requests

   • prettytable

   • pyodbc

8. Configure the GPT Application

   Configure the following .bat files for the GPT application:

   • runprocess.bat

   • runpreprocess.bat

   These files are located in:

   C:\ProgramData\axioma\gpt

   

   Edit run_process.bat:

   • Change the first row to the directory of GPT’s library.

   • Modify the environment created in step 5 and set the path to activate.bat.

   • Point to the python.exe of the cloned environment.

   • Change the directory of provision.py to GPT3’s provision.py.

   

   Edit run_preprocess.bat:

   • Follow the same steps as for run_process.bat.

   

9. Final Setup

   Verify that the GPT application is running by checking the logs and ensuring that the UI-SERVER is executing the correct GPT executable.
