Setting up Esri

Esri ArcGIS Indoors is required to enable IBM® TRIRIGA® Indoor Maps. It consists of ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise. ArcGIS Pro is the tool for generating and preparing your GIS maps, and ArcGIS Enterprise is the server that hosts the maps and wayfinding capabilities.

Before you begin

You must obtain valid licenses for the Esri components and follow the Esri documentation to complete the installation.
Important: It is highly recommended to contact a qualified service provider to assist you with this process.
