Ubuntu 18.04:Problem with importing arcpy

zak100

Hi,

I am using:

import arcpy

but I am getting the error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'arcpy'

I tried to install it using:

pip install -c esri arcpy

but I am getting the error:

ERROR: Could not open requirements file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'esri'

 

Somebody please guide me.

 

Zulfi.

You're confusing conda installation syntax (-c esri arcpy means install arcpy from the esri conda channel) with pip. ArcPy is not available in PyPi. 

You may be able to install arcpy on your Ubuntu device using conda if you have a recent version of ArcGIS Server already installed and licensed on that device.  You can't  run ArcPy without ArcGIS Server (Windows or Linux) or ArcGIS Pro (Windows only).
