The VBA Compatibility setup in prior versions can still be installed, but its usage is not supported and may result in software errors or crashes. It is recommended that existing Microsoft VBA users continue to use ArcGIS Desktop version 10.2.2 or earlier, or migrate VBA customizations to ArcMap add-ins, ArcPy scripts, or ArcGIS Pro add-ins.

Supported platforms
Note:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or later must be installed prior to installing ArcMap.
Tip:
ArcGIS Desktop requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 (update 5 or later) Redistributable (x86). If the Visual C++ 2017 (update 5 or later) Redistributable is not already installed, running setup.exe will install it before setup.msi is launched. Setup.msi will not install if Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 (update 5 or later) Redistributable (x86) is not already installed.
Note:
After February 2019, ArcGIS Online services will only accept connections using TLS 1.2. For more information about ArcGIS Desktop patches or configuration changes to support TLS 1.2, visit http://links.esri.com/tls_support.

Software requirements
| Description | |
|---|---|
Python requirement | ArcGIS requires Python 2.7.14 and Numerical Python 1.9.3 to be installed. If the ArcGIS setup does not find either Python 2.7.14 or Numerical Python (NumPy) 1.9.3 installed on the target computer, Python 2.7.14 and Numerical Python 1.9.3 will be installed during a complete installation of ArcMap. You can choose a Custom installation to unselect the Python feature and avoid installing it. Additionally, if the Python setup is executed during the ArcMap installation, you will be provided with the opportunity to choose its installation location. The Python installation location should not include spaces. ArcGIS requires Python 2.7.14 and Numerical Python (NumPy) 1.9.3 to be installed. If the ArcGIS setup does not find either Python 2.7.14 or Numerical Python (NumPy) 1.9.3 installed on the target computer, Python 2.7.13 and Numerical Python 1.9.3 will be installed during a complete installation. |
Microsoft .NET Framework requirement | Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or higher must be installed prior to installing ArcMap. |
Browser requirement | Microsoft Internet Explorer (minimum IE 11) must be installed prior to installing ArcMap. |
Printer support
ArcMap supports printing to any Microsoft certified Windows printer using the native driver in ArcGIS. Note that some printer drivers do not support complex maps, and the ArcPress printer driver or additional hardware may be needed for these complex maps.
Note:
The following configuration is recommended when printing large maps with the ArcPress printer drivers:
- If large complex maps do not print, reboot the computer to ensure the pagefile system is cleared. If the pagefile system is not a dedicated drive or partition, make sure the drive does not need to be defragmented.
- Disk Space: At least 10 GB of free space is required on the drive where %TEMP% is located, as potentially large temporary files will be written there while ArcPress is processing a map for printing.
For more information on supported printers, refer to the following Knowledge Base FAQ: What printers are supported by ArcGIS Desktop?
Software required to connect to a DBMS
Your client machine (for example, the one running ArcMap) will need to have the appropriate client files installed for the RDBMS you are using. These client files are available from their respective RDBMS vendors, but some are also available on My Esri as a convenience. RDBMS client files available from My Esri are IBM Db2 and Microsoft SQL Server. Client files for ALTIBASE, Dameng, IBM Informix, IBM Netezza, Oracle, SAP HANA, and Teradata are not available on My Esri and must be obtained from the RDBMS vendors. See Database clients for more information.
SDK requirements
| SDK | Supported and Recommended IDE(s) | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
ArcObjects SDK |
Note:
At the ArcGIS Desktop 10.5 release, Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) Compatibility is no longer included. The VBA Compatibility setup in prior versions can still be installed, but its usage is not supported and may result in software errors or crashes. It is recommended that existing Microsoft VBA users continue to use ArcGIS Desktop version 10.2.2 or earlier, or migrate VBA customizations to ArcMap add-ins, ArcPy scripts, or ArcGIS Pro add-ins built with the Pro SDK for .NET

Best Practices
Minimum Required Upload Speed
10.6 Streaming Software Downloads
- It is recommended that an upload speed rate of at least double the selected video bitrate be available, especially for a total target bit-rate of 10Mbps (Megabits per second) or less, or when there are multiple outgoing streams.
- Upload speed can be tested at a website such as TestMy.net/upload.
- Additional tasks that can consume upload bandwidth on the network should also be considered when determining how much of the available upload bandwidth can be allocated towards streaming
Rendezvous
Wirecast Rendezvous uses WebRTC technology that can be very resource intensive. For the best experience, we suggest considering the following table when choosing hardware:
| Studio (2 guests + 1 host) | Pro (7 guests + 1 host) | |
|---|---|---|
| Bandwidth4 | Add 4 Mbps | Add 5+ Mbps5 |
| Processor4 | i5 quad-core6 | i7 quad-core6 |
4Based on a single simultaneous stream of 720p30 x264 @ 4.0Mbps.
5Bandwidth per guest will scale downwards as more are added to maintain reliability.
6Minimum recommended processor with example stream4. More demanding workflows may require a more capable CPU.
ISO Recording
- Solid State Drive or fast RAID array recommended for ISO Recording and Replay functionality.
- Actual data rates will vary depending on quality level selected for ProRes or x264, as well as the resolution and frame rate selected.
- For ProRes recording please refer to Apple’s ProRes data rate specifications.
- Total expected data rate should be compared to available disk write speed to ensure adequate disk throughput.
Failure to ensure the available disk write speed is greater than the highest expected total data rate may result in frames being dropped from recordings (ISO, Replay, and Record-to-Disk).
See our ISO Recording Guide for more information
Hardware accelerated encoding requirements:
- Intel Quick Sync Video encoding requires an Intel CPU with an Intel® QuickSync Video core.
List of Intel CPUs supporting QuickSync - NVIDIA NVENC encoding requires an NVidia GPU with Kepler architecture or newer.
NVIDIA only maintains a general list of supported GPUs - Apple Hardware Accelerated H.264 encoding requires a Mac with an integrated Intel GPU*.
*This may change in the future, as the Apple API decides what hardware acceleration method is to be used. At the time of this writing, only Quick Sync via an Intel GPU is supported.
High frame-rate streaming (60fps):
- High frame-rate streaming will result in increased CPU usage and require a higher bit rate (4Mbps or higher) for a quality encode.
- Simply switching to a higher frame-rate without ensuring the CPU and bitrate are sufficient may result in a lower quality encode.
CPU Usage:
- Consider lowering your canvas frame rate and/or streaming resolution to lower CPU usage.
- Maintained system CPU usage greater than 60% will increase the likelihood of dropped frames.
