To install ArcGIS Notebook Server, you can run the ArcGIS Notebook Server installation wizard, or you can run the installation from a command prompt; for the latter option, see Silently install ArcGIS Notebook Server.
Each machine with an installation of ArcGIS Notebook Server requires an authorization file. There are several ways to register ArcGIS Notebook Server. You can visit My Esri to obtain an authorization file (by email, fax, phone, or mail) before proceeding with the installation. You can also register ArcGIS Notebook Server using the Software Authorization Wizard that launches after the setup installation completes (this is the recommended method).
Before you begin the installation, review to make sure you have completed the following steps from previous topics:
- Verify that your machine meets the system requirements for ArcGIS Notebook Server.
- Modify the firewall of the ArcGIS Notebook Server machine to allow communication on port 11443.
- Obtain your software download, authorization file (if using), and one or two Docker container images from My Esri. The number of images you receive depends on your license.
- Install Docker on your machine.
When you are ready, the following steps get ArcGIS Notebook Server set up using the installation wizard. Perform the steps in chronological order.
- Create a Windows account for the ArcGIS Notebook Server account. This will be the Run As account for ArcGIS Notebook Server.It is recommended that you use a domain account, so you may need to request this from your IT department. If you choose to use a local Windows account, the installation wizard can create the account for you.
- Run the ArcGIS Notebook Server installation wizard you downloaded from My Esri.
- During installation, you will need to provide a location for the installation directory. The installation directory contains the ArcGIS Notebook Server files. Specify a location on the computer where you want to store these files.
The default install location on Windows is C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\notebookserver.
- The Software Authorization Wizard opens at the end of the ArcGIS Notebook Server installation. Use this to authorize the installation with an ArcGIS Notebook Server license. You can also open the wizard manually from the Start menu.
Note:
Shared network directories that are hidden or use special characters (such as $) are not supported by ArcGIS Notebook Server.
When the software is installed and authorized on your machine, proceed to create your server site.
