System requirements | ArcGIS Enterprise SDK

The system and hardware requirements to run ArcGIS Enterprise Software Development Kit (SDK) are listed below.

It is recommended that you review the deprecation notice to determine whether your hardware and software components are still compatible with the current ArcGIS version.

Operating system requirements

The following 64-bit operating systems satisfy the minimum operating system requirements. Support is not provided for 32-bit operating systems; the setup will only proceed if the operating system is 64 bit.

Supported operating system	Latest update or service pack tested
Windows Server 2025 Standard and Datacenter	Sept 2025 update
Windows Server 2022 Standard and Datacenter	Sept 2025 update
Windows Server 2019 Standard and Datacenter	Sept 2025 update

Supported operating system	Latest update or service pack tested
Windows 11 Pro and Enterprise	Sept 2025 update

Note

Prior and future updates or service packs for these operating system versions are supported unless otherwise stated. The operating system version and updates must also be supported by the operating system provider.
ArcGIS is only supported on 64-bit CPUs with x86-64 architecture.
The Desktop Experience option is required on all versions of Windows Server.
Windows 11 is supported for basic testing and application development use only.
Machines with an underscore (_) in their names are not supported. Several widely used internet host name specifications have designated the underscore character as nonstandard. Although Microsoft Windows allows you to use the underscore in a machine name, it can cause problems when you interact with other servers and platforms. For this reason, the installation will not proceed on servers that have an underscore in the host name.
You cannot install on domain controllers. Installing on a domain controller may adversely affect functionality.

Disk space requirements

ArcGIS Enterprise SDK with all features for .NET on Microsoft Windows requires approximately 550 MB of disk space.

ArcGIS Enterprise SDK with all features for Java requires approximately 250 MB of disk space.

ArcGIS Enterprise SDK with all features for NodeJS requires approximately 500 MB of disk space.

Developer solutions (SDK) requirements

The following table lists supported Integrated Development Environments (IDE) and SDK requirements per development platform.

Development platform Integrated Development Environment (IDE) SDK requirement

Development platform	Integrated Development Environment (IDE)	SDK requirement
`.NET`	Visual Studio templates (which contain boilerplate code) are provided with ArcGIS Enterprise SDK for the .NET Platform and are supported in the IDE listed below. Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 (C#, VB.NET) Community, Professional, Enterprise	ArcGIS Server is required when deploying an SOE (Server Object Extension) or SOI (Server Object Interceptor) and ArcGIS Pro is required when publishing map services. However, ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Pro do not need to be installed on the same machine where the ArcGIS Enterprise SDK is installed; they can be on remote machines. The .NET 10 SDK (x64) is required to install and use the ArcGIS Enterprise SDK. For more information, please refer to the Overview of .NET 8 Support.
`Java`	ArcGIS Enterprise SDK uses the Apache Maven framework for Java project build and management. Most Java IDEs that support Maven and JDK 17 can be used, such as IntelliJ IDEA and Eclipse IDE. The documented and recommended IDEs are: IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate (version 2025.2; latest verified version: 2025.2). IntelliJ IDEA Community (version 2025.2; latest verified version: 2024.3.5) Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (version 2025-03 (4.35.0))	ArcGIS Server is required to deploy an SOE (Server Object Extension) or SOI (Server Object Interceptor), and ArcGIS Pro is required to publish services. They do not need to be installed on the same machine as the ArcGIS Enterprise SDK. Java Development Kit (JDK) version 17.0.10 or later within the JDK 17 series is supported Java 18 or later is not supported. Apache Maven 3.8.8 or later is supported (latest verified version: 3.9.11)
`NodeJS`	Any IDE	ArcGIS Server is required to deploy a custom data package file (.cdpk). ArcGIS Server Custom Data Feeds must also be installed on the same machine where ArcGIS Server is installed. However, ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Enterprise SDK can be on different machines. Refer to the custom data feeds installation guide for details. NodeJS runtime version between 20.17.1 and 22.13.1 must be installed on the development machine before installing the ArcGIS Enterprise SDK.

.NET

Visual Studio templates (which contain boilerplate code) are provided with ArcGIS Enterprise SDK for the .NET Platform and are supported in the IDE listed below.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 (C#, VB.NET) Community, Professional, Enterprise

ArcGIS Server is required when deploying an SOE (Server Object Extension) or SOI (Server Object Interceptor) and ArcGIS Pro is required when publishing map services. However, ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Pro do not need to be installed on the same machine where the ArcGIS Enterprise SDK is installed; they can be on remote machines.

The .NET 10 SDK (x64) is required to install and use the ArcGIS Enterprise SDK. For more information, please refer to the Overview of .NET 8 Support.

Java

Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (version 2025-03 (4.35.0))

ArcGIS Server is required to deploy an SOE (Server Object Extension) or SOI (Server Object Interceptor), and ArcGIS Pro is required to publish services.

They do not need to be installed on the same machine as the ArcGIS Enterprise SDK.

Java Development Kit (JDK) version 17.0.10 or later within the JDK 17 series is supported Java 18 or later is not supported.
Apache Maven 3.8.8 or later is supported (latest verified version: 3.9.11)

NodeJS

Any IDE

ArcGIS Server is required to deploy a custom data package file (.cdpk).

ArcGIS Server Custom Data Feeds must also be installed on the same machine where ArcGIS Server is installed. However, ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Enterprise SDK can be on different machines. Refer to the custom data feeds installation guide for details.

NodeJS runtime version between 20.17.1 and 22.13.1 must be installed on the development machine before installing the ArcGIS Enterprise SDK.
