What is ArcGIS, and where is it installed on XSEDE?

ArcGIS, developed by Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), is an integrated collection of geographic information system (GIS) software products for building a complete GIS. ArcGIS enables users to deploy GIS functionality wherever it is needed in desktops, servers, or custom applications; over the web; or in the field. For more information about the critical GIS concepts that provide the foundation for ArcGIS, download the ESRI tutorial, What is ArcGIS? (PDF, 17MB).

To find which XSEDE resources have this software (and which version) installed, use the Comprehensive Software Search on the XSEDE Software page.

  1. Make sure the first drop-down list is set to Name.

  2. Enter the application name in the text box.

  3. Click Search.

If your search returns 0 results, it may mean this software is not available on XSEDE. If you wish to use such an application, contact  help@xsede.org . If a product (e.g., Python) is installed on a resource, and you want to use a specific module associated with that product (e.g., Biopython), you may contact  help@xsede.org  to request its installation.

For information about ArcGIS at Indiana University, see At IU, how can faculty request ArcGIS software for students?
