Multiple Installations of FME Form in Parallel

If you want to have multiple of installations of FME Form on the same system, we recommend the following procedure:

  1. Install the first copy of FME Form as described in Installing FME Form on Linux.
  2. Copy the contents of the install directory (/opt/fme-form-<release>) to another location (for example, /home/user/fme-form-b23283).
  3. Install the second copy of FME Form as described in Installing FME Form on Linux.
  4. Run the first copy of FME Form directly from the location to which it was copied (for example, /home/user/fme-form-b23283) - not from a desktop shortcut. You can run the second copy of FME Form from a desktop shortcut, which points to the original install location (/opt/fme-form-<release>).
