Install on Linux

  1. Stop FME Flow.
  2. Move the currently-installed engines to a different directory. For example:

    3. mv /opt/fme-engine-2020 /opt/fme-engine-2020-old

  3. Perform the installation according to your Linux environment:

    4. Using a GUI:

    Double-click on the .deb install package, and follow the package manager to install FME Engines.

    Using the command line:

    Run the following commands under the root account:

    apt install <installer_filename>.deb

    For example:

    apt install fme-engine-2023_2023.1.23619~ubuntu.20.04_amd64.deb

    Using a GUI:

    Double-click on the .rpm install package, and follow the package manager to install FME Engines.

    Using the Command Line:

    Run the following command under the root account:

    yum install <installer_filename>.rpm

    For example:

    yum install fme-engine-2023_2023.1-23619.el9.x86_64.rpm

  4. Start FME Flow.
  5. Use the Engines page to confirm that you are using the upgraded FME Engines. Under "Engines" verify that the "Build" number matches the build number of the filename for the Engines you have installed.

To Undo an Engine Upgrade

  1. Run the following command under the root account to uninstall the newer FME Engine package:

    2. apt remove <fme_engine_version>

    For example:

    apt remove fme-engine-2023

    yum remove <fme_engine_version>

    For example:

    yum remove fme-desktop-2023

  2. Move the older FME Engines back to the current directory. For example:

    3. mv /opt/fme-engine-2020-old /opt/fme-engine-2020
