Linux: Offline Installations
Expand for more information
FME on Linux requires many third party packages. These dependencies must be satisfied when FME is installed. The easiest way to satisfy these dependencies is to install FME on a computer that is connected to the internet, allowing packages to be downloaded as needed.
It is possible, however, to manually prepare an offline computer for FME installation.
Dependencies can be determined on-demand by using one of the following commands
- Ubuntu/Debian: dpkg -I <package_name>
- Red Hat/CentOS: yum deplist <package_name>
Note: RedHat and CentOS require that NumPy and Matplotlib packages are installed via pip and pip3. This may be done before or after installing FME. For more information, see Using Python with FME Server.

WARNING: If you are accessing local mirrors of public repositories, ensure they match the version of your Linux.
