&lt;div class="hb-steps"&gt;
&lt;h3 id="download-the-toolbox"&gt;Download the toolbox&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Download the Buffer Analysis Tool from my &lt;strong&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the source code, please refer to the &lt;strong&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;. Feel free to explore, contribute, or report issues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="unzip-the-buffer-analysis-tool"&gt;Unzip the Buffer Analysis Tool&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unzip the Buffer Analysis Tool to any location of your choice. It is recommended to place it in the root folder of your ArcGIS Pro project for convenience, as shown in the figure below.

&lt;p&gt;It may take a few seconds to initialize the toolkit when you first open it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are three scripts in the toolbox:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;: the main script for performing buffer analysis.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;: a specialized script that performs buffer analysis based solely on the buffer area.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;: an auxiliary script that divides POIs by polygon for buffer analysis.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
