The installer should be executed as the root user. The recommended method is to call the install file directly. These examples assume you are in the same directory as the installer:
- As root user:
chmod +x fme-server-b18205-linux-x64~ubuntu.16.04.run
./fme-server-b18205-linux-x64~ubuntu.16.04.run
- Not root user, but with sudo privileges:
sudo chmod +x fme-server-b18205-linux-x64~ubuntu.16.04.run
sudo ./fme-server-b18205-linux-x64~ubuntu.16.04.run
Proceed through to the Choose Setup Type prompt. Select the Express option.
Proceed through all the prompts. When prompted for the Web Application Server port number, we recommend that you use port 8080.
WARNING: When prompted for the database user name and password, do not specify user name postgres. This name corresponds to the PostgreSQL master user. If the corresponding passwords do not match, the database will not install.
Note: Regardless of the installation directory you specify, FME Engines are installed directly under /opt/fme-engine.
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.
The password for the FME Server Database user account is encrypted in FME Server installation files.
Proceed to Starting and Stopping FME Server.
