FileGDB Dependencies

FileGDB Support

FileGDB is implemented using a thin JNI layer on top of an ESRI C++ File Geodatabase API. This ESRI library is not licensed for redistribution, hence each user must separately download the library from ESRI. The library is available here, you will have to register for the site, but there is no fee for the download or registration.

Windows

You must download version 1.3 of the API, and make sure the bin64 folder is on the PATH of the executable you wish to run with FileGDB support.

On Windows you will need to download and install the MS Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package. We hope to recompile the binaries with this statically linked if possible in the near future and remove this requirement. Download those libraries here.

Linux

Download version 1.3 and put the bin64 library on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. No other dependencies are required.

MacOS

Download version 1.3 and put the bin64 library on the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. No other dependencies are required.
