Installations for Day 5

Individual Consultations

All participants must gain access to both ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro.

Please follow the instructions below.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ARCGIS ONLINE (AGOL)

All participants must log into ArcGIS online. To do so, follow these instructions.

In ArcGIS Online, please join the DHRI 2021 group using these instructions.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ARCGIS PRO

All participants must have access to ArcGIS Pro, either through an installation or by way of the Virtual Desktop.

A. INSTALLATION OPTION

For PC users in a windows environment, I recommend that you download and install the software:
In ArcGIS Online, click on the icon in the upper right of the screen and choose “My Settings”, then choose "Licenses". There should be a download button next to ArcGIS Pro. After downloading the software and installing it, you can log in using the same method as with AGOL to log in.
For Mac users, beware that ArcGIS Pro only installs in a Windows environment. So, you will need to either install Windows and then install ArcGIS Pro or use the Virtual Desktop.

B. VIRTUAL DESKTOP OPTION

To access the Virtual Desktop, PC users should follow these instructions. Mac users should follow these instructions.
