GIS Tutorial 1 for ArcGIS Pro: A Platform Workbook, first edition: tutorial data

RachelCanham · ‎01-15-2021

Hello, I am not able to download and install the gist1prodata.exe file on my work computer (admin restrictions). is there somewhere that I can download just the data (e.g. shapefiles) so that I can complete the exercises in the textbook?

Thanks!

Rachel

Hi Rachel,

The data for that book is only supplied as an executable and unfortunately sometimes that is blocked by administrator restrictions. I would suggest downloading and installing the executable file on another machine that you have administrator privileges for. The default location will be C:\EsriPress. Then you could use a portable drive to transfer the files to a different machine. I would suggest zipping them in the transfer process to make sure everything is moved. I hope that helps.
