1. Download the latest FMS Easy Deploy version and unzip/extract the folder to a preferred directory

FMS Easy Deploy contains the installation scripts and will also act as the working space for the FMS installation.

2. Install docker on the host machine

You can install docker on your own by following the guide from the official website, or you can also install docker by using our docker installation script from the fms easy deploy directory:

./installs/install_docker.sh

3. Run the installation script

After installing docker, we can proceed with the installation process which mainly involves pulling the official FMS docker images.

./fms/ubuntu/install.sh

4. Start the containers

In order to start FMS, you can use the start script which will load the environment variables and run the containers based on the docker compose file.
