Rebecca, The issue with the shortcut not working is a bug, and I see that a bug has been filed with its description. You can still run the notebook from the environment prompt, but that is annoying that the shortcut isn't working directly. When you said that you opened up a "Python command prompt", do you mean the Python window that's included within Pro? The error you're getting makes it look like you're at a Python interepreter prompt, which would cause that issue. To install the ArcGIS API for Python, instead you'll want to run the shortcut in the Pro group called "Python command prompt", then run the command you included. You shouldn't need to install another Anaconda, it'll probably make things more complicated than necessary -- you can also use the Python backstage from Pro (Project > Python) to install the API without having to use any command line tools at all.

Brooks, The r-bridge-install toolbox that you ran to show the R Installation Details can be used to install the bridge -- that will make the package available in R without using `install.packages'. The package itself isn't on CRAN, and that's why the installation command doesn't work. The bridge should work fine with any version of R 3.1 or later. Cheers, Shaun ... View more

Hello Robert, It looks like there's a verified bug with conda for installing QT. The reported fix is to upgrade conda, you can install the latest version of conda with the command:   conda update conda Let us know if that fixes the issue for you. Cheers, Shaun ... View more

Filip, Sorry to hear you continue to have problems. It can be tricky to debug some of these issues, in part because we're probably using different versions of Conda and Python if you've upgraded. Do you get a crash dump, or any further details if you click "Debug the program"? ... View more

Hi Filip, Yes, it is normal to not be able to run spyder from a default command line prompt – we've intentionally sandboxed our Python installation and don't modify the PATH of the machine. If you do want to explicitly add the Python environment to your PATH, you can add the ArcGIS\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\Scripts directory to the path, and it should work like any other entry. Could you post the results of:   conda info On your machine? Also, you may want to try creating a new environment with just Spyder, and seeing if it works there – it adds a new shortcut under Anaconda 3 (64-bit) > Spyder (env-name) you can try opening. To create the environment, try something like this:   conda create --name spyder-test python=3.4 spyder If that doesn't work, that helps isolate it as a conda issue, since that environment should have no interaction with ArcGIS Pro. ...

See if the instructions Continuum provides for running Spyder help. Cheers, Shaun ... View more

Here's a script that downloads a full list of current Anaconda packages: GitHub - scw/anaconda-packages: Create an installable list of current Anaconda packages Running the anaconda-packages.py script will create a list of the currently installable packages, in this case in the anaconda-packages-py34.txt which is included for illustration. This list can then be installed from conda with:     conda install --file anaconda-packages-py34.txt Cheers, Shaun ... View more

Can you visit the URLs manually? https://conda.anaconda.org/esri/win-64/​ should resolve in most environments. Also, what version of Python are you installing into? Python 3.5? ... View more

Adding to Dan Patterson​'s answer, yes you can use conda to install xlswriter. To do so, you can open a new Python Command Prompt window from the "ArcGIS Pro" program group, then execute: conda install xlsxwriter As Dan mentioned, we do include xlwt which provides similar functionality as xlsxwriter , but having both as options is nice. Unlike the Anaconda distribution, we ship a minimal set of packages with ArcGIS Pro, to keep the install size down. Here's the list of included packages as shown by conda list : arcgispro            1.3 colorama             0.3.6 future               0.15.2 matplotlib           1.4.3 msvc_runtime         1.0.1 nose                 1.3.7 numpy                1.9.3 openssl              1.0.2h pandas               0.17.1 pip                  8.1.1 py                   1.4.31 pyparsing            2.1.1 pypdf2               1.25.1 pytest               2.9.1 python               3.4.4 python-dateutil      2.5.3 pytz                 2016.4 requests             2.9.1 scipy                0.16.1 setuptools           20.7.0 six                  1.10.0 sympy                0.7.6.1 vs2010_runtime       10.00.40219.1 wheel                0.29.0 xlrd                 0.9.4 xlwt                 1.0.0 ...

Hi Dan, Can you try pointing the script editor to the Spyder executable itself? For a default global install, that should be: C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\Scripts\spyder.exe I tried it out locally, and it at least worked here. At Pro 1.3, we no longer register ourselves as the default run handler for Python scripts, which may make a difference for how to configure this. Note that some editors are having issues (such as IDLE), and this may be related, there's currently a bug assigned to the issue (BUG-000097665). Cheers, Shaun ... View more

Can you use background geoprocessing? It's designed for this purpose, and if you install 64-bit background geoprocessing, will give you the advantage of providing a 64-bit environment (e.g. access to more memory, some performance improvements on a 64-bit machine). ... View more
