Installing ArcGIS Pro 3

ArcGIS is an integrated collection of GIS software products for spatial analysis, data management, and mapping. Users with access to ArcGIS through UNLV also gain access to ArcGIS Online.

Before you begin

System Requirements

To install ArcGIS Pro, you will need:

  • A Windows device meeting ArcGIS Pro system requirements. There is no macOS version of ArcGIS Pro.
  • An Active UNLV ArcGIS Online account
  • An Internet connection to download and activate ArcGIS Pro.

Downloading installer files

All installation files are located in the X Drive Software Repository. Disconnect and map your X Drive to the device before installing.

Files for ArcGIS Pro 3.7 are located in: X:\Software Repository\CS_DFS\ESRI\ArcGIS Pro\ArcGIS Pro 3.7

  • F/S and Students will receive the download link when they are granted access to ArcGIS Online.
  • If your instructor has requested a classroom license for your course, your instructor will send you the download link.

If you have lost the download link or need help accessing the link, submit a software help request for assistance.
