39  <p>FCM is intended to run on a Unix/Linux system. It is known to work on
40  recent popular Linux distributions such as RHEL-6. See
41  <a href="https://github.com/metomi/metomi-vms">metomi-vms @ Github</a> for
42  information.</p>
43
44  <p>FCM releases can be downloaded from <a href=
45  "https://github.com/metomi/fcm/releases">Github</a>. Download the tar.gz file
46  and un-pack it into an appropriate location on your system. Add the
47  <samp>bin/</samp> directory into your <var>PATH</var> environment variable.
48  Enable the configuration files in <samp>etc/fcm/</samp> directory and edit
49  them to meet the your requirements. Once you have done this you should now
50  have access to the FCM user utilities, assuming that you have met the
51  requirements described below:</p>
