Run the Installer

Start the installer as the root user, and proceed through to the Choose Setup Type prompt. Select the Express option.

Proceed through all the prompts. We recommend that you use port 80 when prompted.

Note: Regardless of the installation directory you specify, FME Engines are installed directly under /opt/fme-engine.

Don’t forget to note the password you enter for the administrator account. (For more information, see Default User Accounts and Passwords.) For each prompt, the default answer appears in square brackets, such as [default]. If you press Enter without typing an answer, you are accepting the default answer. 

Note: If you select port 80 or any port number less than 1024 for the default Web Application Server, start that service as root.

Proceed to Starting and Stopping FME Server.
