Updating Deep Learning Libraries from ArcGIS Pro 3.6 to 3.7

[Ed_]

Hello good morning,

The post for ESRI Deep Learning team, so when updating Deep Learning Libraries from ArcGIS Pro 3.6 to 3.7, the following steps are described on the github page https://github.com/esri/deep-learning-frameworks

Upgrading From a Previous Version:

If you're upgrading from a previous release, the safest way to upgrade is to uninstall and reinstall both the product and the deep learning installer. For example, to upgrade from Pro 3.2 to Pro 3.3:

1. Uninstall Deep Learning Libraries for ArcGIS Pro 3.2
2. Uninstall ArcGIS Pro 3.2
3. Directly remove any files still present in C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3 or equivalent location for your installation. These may have been left over from previously modified environment.
4. Install ArcGIS Pro 3.3
5. Install ArcGIS Pro 3.3 Deep Learning downloaded from this site.

After these steps, you should have a clean Pro installation with the Deep Learning package set included in the default arcgispro-py3 environment.

Now my question is, someone else working at ESRI suggested to actually clone the ArcGIS Pro python environment and then install the deep learning in that clone environment. However, the official documentation on GitHub does not state that when updating from a previous version.

Please guide on this , thank you!

Hi @Ed_ 

You are no longer required to completely uninstall the previous deep learning packages. The newer version of the MSI installer is capable of upgrading your existing installation directly. Cloning the environment is completely optional. Note: Only the default arcgispro-py3 environment can be upgraded this way.

Cheers!
