Installing

Before installing, be sure to:

1. Review the installation Prerequisites.
2. Update Linux.

All installation steps must be performed "as root" (via the sudo command on some distributions). FME Form is installed for ALL users.

The install location is /opt/fme-form-<release>. (For example, /opt/fme-form-2023.) When complete, the installer generates a configuration (.cfg) file to the install directory.

Downloading the Installer

Download the FME Form Installer to your local machine. To obtain the installer, visit the FME Downloads page.

Running the Installer Using the Command Line

Run the following commands, depending on your Linux platform, substituting <release>, <version>, and <build> with the corresponding values from your installer name.

Debian package:

apt install fme-form-<release>_<version>.<build>~<distro>_amd64.deb

RedHat, Rocky Linux package:

yum install fme-form-<release>-<version>-<build>.<distro>.x86_64.rpm

Alternatively, to install to a non-default location, you must first manually install FME dependencies:

yum deplist fme-form-<release>-<version>-<build>.<distro>.x86_64.rpm | grep provider | awk '{print $2}' | sort | uniq | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ /g' | xargs yum install -y

Next, run:

rpm -Uvh --relocate /opt=/usr/etc/fme --relocate /usr=/usr/fmeicons fme-form-<release>-<version>-<build>.<distro>.x86_64.rpm

Each --relocate argument relocates a prefix to a new location. In the preceding example, FME installs to /usr/etc/fme/fme-form-<release> and the icons, shortcuts, and others will install to /usr/fmeicons. Note that these arguments are optional: you can relocate both prefixes, one, or none.
