Accessing Esri Software from Ubuntu (Internal Esri Network)

Install Required Package

Install CIFS utilities to mount network shares:

sudo apt install cifs-utils -y

Create Mount Point

Create a directory where the network share will be mounted:

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/software

Mount the Network Drive

Mount the Esri software share (you'll be prompted for your password):

sudo mount -t cifs //RED-INF-DCT-P05.esri.com/software/Esri/Released /mnt/software -o username=YOUR_USERNAME,domain=ESRI.com

Replace YOUR_USERNAME with your Esri username (without @esri.com). You'll be prompted to enter your password.

Browse the mounted share:

ls /mnt/software

sudo umount /mnt/software
