### Installation Steps

Before you start installing FMS, it's important to note that the current main method of installing FMS is by using Docker. You'll need to install docker on your own or use our installation script.&#x20;

1. **Download the latest** [**FMS Easy Deploy**](https://movelrobotics.com/downloads/index.html) **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**

For windows version, please install the [Docker Desktop](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/) from the Official Docker Website. Note that this will also require installing WSL2.

3. **Run the installation script**

After installing docker desktop, you can navigate to the FMS Easy Deploy directory and go to `fms_easy_deploy/fms/windows/` which will contain all the necessary batch scripts. You can then just click the `install.bat` to run the installation batch script which will pull the Official FMS Docker Images.

4. **Start the containers**

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

You can also use the stop script (`stop.bat`) to stop the docker containers easily.

### Uninstalling FMS

If you want to uninstall FMS which involves removing docker images and volumes. We provide a convenience script `uninstall.bat`
