Install on Linux

  1. Stop FME Server.

    3. mv /opt/fme-engine-2016 /opt/fme-engine-2016-old

  3. Perform the installation according to your Linux environment:

    Double-click on the .deb install package, and follow the package manager to install FME Engines.

    Using the command line:

    Run the following commands under the root account:

    apt-get install gdebi-core

    gdebi <installer_filename>.deb

    For example:

    apt-get install gdebi-core

    gdebi fme-engine-2016_2016.0-16136_amd64.deb
