Install and Configure ArcGIS Server Custom Data Feeds

The following steps will guide you through the ArcGIS Server Custom Data Feeds installation and configuration process.

1. Install ArcGIS Server and create an ArcGIS Server site.
2. Install ArcGIS Server Custom Data Feeds Runtime on the same machine as your ArcGIS Server. If there are multiple machines in your ArcGIS Server site then the ArcGIS Server Data Feeds Runtime must be installed on each machine.
3. Install NodeJS runtime version 16.19.1 and the ArcGIS Enterprise SDK on the machine where you will do your development. This machine does not need to have ArcGIS Server installed.
4. Open a command prompt on your development machine, and run the cdf -h command. The following output should appear:
