Why the dependency upon 10.3.1? #9

Closed faridcher closed 8 years ago

faridcher commented 8 years ago

Is there anything special with 10.3.1 that R-bridge is dependent on it? I suppose it can be used in standalone mode(R script). But to make use of geoprocessing framework, 10.3.1 is needed! Am I right?

I need to use it with 10.2.2.

Farid,

Lettting ArcGIS know how to appropriately handle R scripts requires changes to the application. Unfortunately, the release of 10.2.2 predates the existence of this project. The actual integration with R can be used however, by downloading the release and manually installing it into R, as shown in this screencast. That approach, which will give you full access to ArcGIS features from R will work with 10.2.2.

I manually installed R-bridge before. But I get error

library(arcgisbinding)
arcgisbinding::arc.check_product()

Error in .call_proxy("arc_AoInitialize") : 
  Could not bind to a valid ArcGIS installation

Unless you've installed Background Geoprocessing, you must be in 32-bit R (the icon is labeled with "i386"). An example of connecting R 3.2.2 i386 with ArcGIS 10.2.2:
