R-ArcGIS / R-Bridge-Tutorial-Notebooks

Jupyter notebooks demonstrating setup and use of the R-ArcGIS bridge. The repo includes datasets required to run the Jupyter notebooks.

R-ArcGIS Bridge Tutorial Notebooks

Take the survey!

Static Notebooks

Overview

The goal of these notebooks is to serve as a reference. All code snippets and documentation notes are meant to be read. Any R coding practice should be done using the notebooks as a guide while in R or RStudio. This helps to ensure the information in the notebooks is maintained and not modified.

If attending a seminar held by the R-ArcGIS bridge team all data found in the notebooks will be loaded onto your machine. Data location will vary by organization.

Get Started

These notebooks were created in a conda environment set-up in the following fashion:

1. Install R
2. Install the R-ArcGIS Bridge
3. Open the C:\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\Scripts\proenv batch file
4. Clone arcgispro-py3 environment: conda create --name arcgispro-r --clone arcgispro-py3
5. Activate your new environment: activate arcgispro-r
6. Install R-Essentials: conda install -c r r-essentials r-reticulate
7. By default, the R version install is quite old. Update your packages: conda update --all
8. Make sure your R version now it at least greater than 3.2.2
9. In ArcGIS Pro, make sure you set your environment to arcgispro-r in the Python Package Manager

Running Notebooks Locally

If you wish to use these notebooks on a local machine, here are the details on how to do so:

1. Set-up the proper environment to run them in.
2. Paste notebooks into that location. For instance: C:\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-r
3. Paste the data folder into that location as well. For instance: C:\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-r
