Hey guys,

I needed to install FME on Debian 9 (Stretch), and since I struggled a bit to do it, I thought someone else would appreciate to read what I've found.

So the first step is to download libpng12-0 as described in this post:

wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.50-2%2Bdeb8u3_amd64.deb

Install it using dpkg:

dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.49-1+deb7u2_amd64.deb

Then download the Ubuntu 16.04 version of FME:

wget https://downloads.safe.com/fme/2017/fme-desktop-2017_2017.0.1.2.17292~ubuntu.16.04_amd64.deb

Again, use dpkg to install it:

dpkg -i fme-desktop-2017_2017.0.1.2.17292~ubuntu.16.04_amd64.deb

This should end with an error message, but don't worry, everything will be fine.

Use apt to fix missing dependencies:

apt --fix-missing -f install

It will install a lot of missing lib to run FME.


Now, if all the previous steps ended successfully, you should be able to launch the engine:


/opt/fme-desktop-2017/fme

You should get this result:

FME license system failure:  FME is not licensed for this machine. Contact your Distributor. Your registration key is XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX. Program Terminating Translation FAILED.

then you only need to setup your license and you're good to go!

Edit : new link for libpng12-0
