Software requirements
| Python Requirement for Geoprocessing | ArcGIS Engine geoprocessing tools require that Python 2.7.x and Numerical Python (NumPy) 1.7.x are installed. If the ArcGIS Engine setup does not find either Python 2.7.x or Numerical Python (NumPy) 1.7.xinstalled on the target computer, Python 2.7.8 and Numerical Python 1.7.1 will be installed during a complete installation of ArcGIS 10.3.x. You can choose a Custom installation to unselect the Python feature and avoid installing it. Additionally, if the Python setup is executed during the ArcGIS Engine installation, you will be provided with the opportunity to choose its installation location. The Python installation location should not include spaces. |
| Microsoft .NET Framework Requirement | Windows: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 must be installed for solutions developed using the Microsoft .NET Framework. |
| Java Requirement | Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 7 (32-bit) is required for solutions developed using the Java Platform. Update 75 and above are supported. * |
| Browser Requirement | Windows: Microsoft Internet Explorer (minimum IE 9) must be installed prior to installing ArcGIS Engine. Internet Explorer 9, 10 and 11 are supported. Linux: ArcGIS Engine requires a minimum installation of the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. If you do not have an installation of Mozilla Firefox, it is recommended you obtain and install it prior to installing ArcGIS Engine. |
*Java 7 is supported on Linux without visual beans. To use visual beans, refer to the following Knowledge Base article: Use Visual Beans with the ArcGIS® 10.3.1 Engine Developer Kit (Linux®) and the Oracle Java 7 Software Developer Kit.
Software required to connect to a DBMS
Your client machine (for example, the one running ArcMap) will need to have the appropriate client files installed for the RDBMS you are using. These client files are available from their respective RDBMS vendors, but some are also available on My Esri as a convenience. See Database clients for more information. RDBMS client files available from My Esri are IBM DB2, IBM Informix, Microsoft SQL Server, and PostgreSQL. Client files for ALTIBASE, IBM Netezza, Oracle, SAP HANA, and Teradata are not available on My Esri and must be obtained from the RDBMS vendors.
