Distribute ArcGIS Pro through Portal for ArcGIS

You can create a portal application item for the ArcGIS Pro installation files so portal members licensed to use ArcGIS Pro can easily install.

Make ArcGIS Pro installation available through a URL

Deploy the ArcGIS Pro installation files to a web server.

1. Download the ArcGIS Pro installation files from My Esri.
2. Host the ArcGIS Pro self extracting .exe installation file on a web server.

   This provides you with the URL needed to add an application item.

Create a group

Create a group and invite or add members of your organization to the group.

1. Sign in to your portal.
2. Create a group.
3. Invite or add all members who you want to access and install ArcGIS Pro.

   This would be any members who are licensed to use ArcGIS Pro.

7. Click Add Item.

   The item details page for the item opens.

    3. Type descriptive text for the link, such as Download ArcGIS Pro installation.
    4. Click Set to create the link.
13. Type information about who can use this application in the Access and Use Constraints field.
14. Click Unregister App in the App Registration section.
15. Type the URL to the installation file in the URL field in the Properties section.
16. Click Save.

The ArcGIS Pro installation file is now available to all members of the group with which you shared it.

Portal members can sign in and search for the application item or access the item from the group. They can then download the installation executable to their local machine and install ArcGIS Pro.
