R Packages and Python Libraries are available on FMECloud?

Hi @mikek, As Danilo said, in regards to the Python Libraries, those depend on which version of FME Desktop you are running with your FME Cloud instance. These can be found by going to the installation location of FME Desktop > Plugins and then looking in the appropriate Python folders. If you require additional libraries, those can be added by downloading the library onto your machine, then in FME Cloud going to Resources > Engine > Plugins > Python and then uploading them to their respective Python folder.

For R Packages, currently only sqldf, jsonlite, XML, foreach and readr come shipped with FME Cloud. There haven't been any customer use cases for us to add more, but if you would like to see certain packages added please submit a New Idea. Alternatively you can download the R Packages you require onto your machine and add them to FME Cloud by going to Resources > Engine > Plugin and uploading them into the R folder.

Hi @mikek,

According this interesting link about FME Cloud written by @stewartharper, when you launch on FME Cloud you choose the version FME Desktop, so you can check on folder installation FME the Libraries before.

Hi @danilo_inovacao,

 

the paragraph in the FME Cloud FAQs you refer to does not apply to Python libraries available on FME Cloud. FME Cloud runs on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) and therefore we use the default Python installation of the OS. The modules installed are determined by the Python Standard Library of the available Python version of the OS including some modules that are added during the launch of the FME Cloud instance (see the list in my answer).

 

Thanks,

 

Gerhard

 

Heya @GerhardAtSafe - is there a way to upgrade the extra python modules?

 

I'm just trying to run a script which seems to be related to an difference in the version of the boto module. I know that upgrading to the new version of FME Cloud would likely get me the later version, however, upgrading will require quite a bit of work.

 

Hi @virtualcitymatt - Currently there is no way to upgrade the shipped boto version. But we regularly upgrade the versions of the modules for new FME Cloud instances, so current recommended build for FME Cloud should always have a update version of the modules.

Is there any way to use the Python modules that ship with ArcGIS Pro e.g. arcpy, arcgis with FME Cloud?

I believe you would require a licensed ESRI software installation on the to run these python modules which I don't believe is possible on the FME Cloud instances because they are running on Linux and won't have access to those machines.

Is there any way to use the Python modules that ship with ArcGIS Pro e.g. arcpy, arcgis with FME Cloud?

I believe you can install the arcgis api, since it is now availble on pypi. Just install the package to the fme shared directory and add it to your path. Arcpy is not likely, that would require a full installation of arcgis server.
