Get started with ArcMap ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro, the two primary desktop applications for GIS professionals, are both part of ArcGIS for Desktop. ArcMap and its companion application, ArcCatalog, as well as ArcGlobe and ArcScene, work together to provide a full spectrum of GIS capabilities. These applications are the focus of this help system. ArcGIS Desktop is the key to realizing the advantage of location awareness. Collect and manage data, create professional maps, perform traditional and advanced spatial analysis, and solve real problems.

ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Pro are are different programs and you should check with your class or research group to figure out which version of ArcGIS you need.
There are several things you should know before using this software.
– Do not contact ESRI for software support. They will direct you to Rich Mrozinski. So, contact Rich Mrozinski (mrozinski@uconn.edu) if you have problems.
– ArcGIS is a Windows based program. It will not run in the MacOS, unless you are running some sort of Windows virtualization software (something like VirtualBox or VMWare Fusion or Parallels). If you do have a Mac, I recommend using ArcGIS on UConn AnyWare.
