1. Open the Anaconda prompt (32 or 64, depending on the ArcGIS environment you are integrating with)
2. Create a compatible environment
   1. 32-bit 2.7 (ArcMap, ArcCatalog)
      ArcGIS 10.2.2:  conda create -n arc1022 python=2.7.5 numpy=1.7.1 matplotlib=1.3.0 pyparsing xlrd xlwt console_shortcut
      ArcGIS 10.3.1:  conda create -n arc1031 python=2.7.8 numpy=1.7.1 matplotlib=1.3.0 pyparsing xlrd xlwt console_shortcut
      ArcGIS 10.4.1: conda create -n arc1041 python=2.7.10 numpy=1.9.2 matplotlib=1.4.3 scipy=0.16.0 pandas pyparsing xlrd xlwt  console_shortcut *NOTE* Esri shipped 0.15.0, but I needed to use 0.16.0 to have conda work
      ArcGIS 10.5: conda create -n arc105 python=2.7.12 numpy=1.9.2 matplotlib=1.4.3  scipy=0.17.0 pandas pyparsing xlrd xlwt console_shortcut
      ArcGIS 10.5.1: conda create -n arc1051 python=2.7.13 numpy=1.9.3 matplotlib=1.5.2  scipy=0.17.0 pandas pyparsing xlrd xlwt console_shortcut64-bit (Background Geoprocessing (x64), ArcGIS Pro
      ArcGIS 10.x x64 background processing: same as above, from Anaconda 64-bit prompt, for example:
          .6.1: conda create -n arc105x64 arc1051 python=2.7.12 14 numpy=1.9.2 3 matplotlib=1.45.3 2  scipy=0.17.0 pandas pyparsing xlrd xlwt console_shortcut
      
   2. ArcGIS Pro 1.2: 64-bit 2.7 ArcGIS Desktop Background Geoprocessing
      Same as above for each version, from Anaconda 64-bit prompt, for example:
          conda create -n arc105x64 python=2.7.12 numpy=1.9.2 matplotlib=1.4.3  scipy=0.17.0 pandas pyparsing xlrd xlwt console_shortcut
   3. 64-bit Python 3 ArcGIS Pro (from Anaconda 64 bit prompt).
      ArcGIS Pro 1.2: conda create -n arcpro12 python=3.4.3 numpy=1.9.3 matplotlib=1.4.3 scipy=0.16.0 pandas pyparsing xlrd xlwt console_shortcut
      ArcGIS Pro 1.3: conda create -n arcpro13 python=3.4.4 numpy=1.10 matplotlib=1.4.3 scipy=0.16.1 pandas pyparsing xlrd xlwt console_shortcut
      ArcGIS Pro 2.0: conda create -n arcpro20 python=3.5.2 numpy=1.11.2 matplotlib=1.5.3 scipy=0.18.1 pandas pyparsing xlrd xlwt console_shortcut
      ArcGIS Pro 2.2.1: conda create -n arcpro22 python=3.6.5 numpy=1.14.2 matplotlib=2.2.2 scipy=1.0.1 pandas pyparsing xlrd xlwt console_shortcut
3. The conda tool will:

• • Determine that the specified package versions are compatible with each other.
  • Find any packages on which these depend and determine most recent versions that are compatible with what you've asked for, if not completely specified.
  • Show you what it plans to do and prompts you to continue.
  • Download (only) the packages you need to "overlay" onto the base environment to get the environment you have specified.
  • Set up a environment subdirectory, (D:\Users\jwpowell\Miniconda2\envs\arc1041 in our example) installing the downloaded packages into it. This adds up to about 1.5 GB in our ArcGIS 10.4.1 example.
  • The console_shortcut conda package will adds a shortcut to your Windows start menu that directly starts up your environment. (Note, if you remove the environment, you will have to delete it yourself.)
  • Windows 10 note: 

    Windows 10 won’t show a start menu item if the name of an item/shortcut within the new group matches a shortcut name in another group and has the same target  (e.g. both ‘Anaconda2 (32-bit)’ and ‘Anaconda2 (64-bit)’ have a shortcut named ‘Anaconda Prompt’ with a target of cmd.exe which confuses Windows 10). So, when Miniconda2 32-bit (and/or 64-bit) is installed edit the ‘Properties’ of ‘Anaconda Prompt’ -> General tab -> rename to ‘Anaconda Prompt 32-bit’. Also, rename each shortcut that is created for environments for 32-bit or 64-bit similarly for consistency. For example, if you created a new virtual environment in Anaconda 32-bit named arc1041 then you would rename the shortcut from ‘Anaconda Prompt (arc1041)’ to ‘Anaconda Prompt 32-bit (arc1041).
