Upgrade or Install Python PIP in ArcGIS Desktop 10.4.1

ArcGIS  Desktop 10.4.1’s default pip, C:\Program Files (x86)\Python27\ArcGIS10.4\Scripts  failed to install the packages throwing following error –

Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.4
\python.exe" "C:\Python27\ArcGISx6410.4\Scripts\pip.exe" 

The following steps to make the pip to work

Step 1. Open command terminal as Administrator and see if pip works

      Make sure 
            C:\Program Files (x86)\Python27\ArcGIS10.4\Lib;
            C:\Program Files (x86)\Python27\ArcGIS10.4\Scripts;

            C:\Program Files (x86)\Python27\ArcGIS10.4
      are in path            
  
           pip install <package_name> , no luck [ You can Jump directly to #4]
        

Step 2. Check the pip version

            pip --version

            (pip9.0.1 as of today)

Step 3. Try to upgrade pip

            pip install --upgrade pip

            The command run successfully, but did not upgrade pip. Every time terminal complains –

You are using pip version 7.0.1, however version 9.0.1 is available.

You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Step 4. Installing pip from beginning although it ships automatically in Python 2.7 ( Arcgis 10.)

To install pip, securely download get-pip.py.

Then run the following:

python get-pip.py

or

python get-pip.py --trusted-host pypi.python.org ( if SSL certification error occurs)

Step 5. Check pip version

pip --version

pip 9.0.1 from C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.4\lib\site-packages (python 2.7)

( You should have latest version of pip)

Step 6. Now use pip to install packages

pip install <package_name> --trusted-host pypi.python.org

Descriptions of the Gradle build structure

Descriptions of the build gradle file’s parts

Build Java code

apply plugin: ‘java’

apply plugin: ‘war’

This task compiles, tests, and assembles the code into a JAR or WAR file, 
when you run - gradle build

Specify project folder structure

sourceSets{

                main.java.srcDir “src/main”

                test.java.srcDir “src/test”

}

Build with Gradle Wrapper

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {

    gradleVersion = '2.7'

}

The Gradle Wrapper is the preferred way of starting a Gradle build. It consists of a batch 
script for Windows and a shell script for OS X and Linux. These scripts allow you to run 
a Gradle build without requiring that Gradle be installed on your system.
