Install EMDS for ArcGIS Pro
- Check that your ArcGIS Pro version matches the package requirements above, and close Pro before installing.
- Download and extract the ArcGIS Pro ZIP into a local folder.
- Open the extracted
.esriAddinXfile with the ArcGIS Pro add-in installer. Review the publisher and follow the installation prompts. - Launch Pro and check the Add-In Manager for EMDS. Open a new test project before using it with existing studies.
If installation is blocked, contact your administrator or the EMDS team with the package version, Pro version, and error message.
Install EMDS for QGIS
- Download the package for your operating system.
If its name ends in
-setup.zip, extract the setup bundle and locate the plugin ZIP inside. Keep that inner plugin ZIP zipped. - In QGIS, open Plugins → Manage and Install Plugins → Install from ZIP and select the plugin ZIP, rather than the outer setup bundle.
- Follow the supplied setup instructions and any EMDS first-run prompts, then restart QGIS when prompted. Your organization's software policies may require administrator assistance for dependencies.
Automatic updates
On first launch, EMDS offers to register its plugin repository so updates arrive through the QGIS Plugin Manager — just click Yes. To set it up manually instead (Plugin Manager → Settings → Add), use the repository URL for your platform:
- Windows (x64):
https://emds.mountain-viewgroup.com/downloads/qgis/win-x64/plugins.xml - macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon):
https://emds.mountain-viewgroup.com/downloads/qgis/macos/plugins.xml - Linux (x64):
https://emds.mountain-viewgroup.com/downloads/qgis/linux-x64/plugins.xml
Dependency setup on managed machines
The setup bundle includes the plugin ZIP and dependency scripts. Those scripts may still need internet access; the bundle does not establish a fully offline installation. Ask your administrator to review the instructions and prepare approved dependencies for an offline machine: Windows (x64) · macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon) · Linux (x64)
