NOTE: This software only installs the client on the Windows O/S machine
Although many functions can be performed without a server, a server is needed to access the AWIPS real-time data base.



Installation Procedure - To install FXC you need to download the following files to the user's desktop:
- Installation Script
- FXC code (Part 1 and 2)
- Java VM
- Desired localization

To start the installation rename FXCinstall.zip to FXCinstall.bat and then double click on the FXCinstall.bat icon (NOTE: For Windows 7 right-click on the icon and "Run as administrator"). The installation script will start by installing the proper version of Java. When prompted, select one of the available localizations (depress "enter"), and (optionally) specify the ip address of the server. If the ip is not specified, the script will use a default. The script will use the c: drive to temporarly store data needed to complete the installation.

Multiple Localizations - The installation script will allow you to install multiple localizations during installation. Each localization file must have been downloaded from the FXC web site. If another localization is to be added at a later time, execute the FXCinstall.bat script from a dos terminal window using "FXCinstall add". Insure that the fxcInstall script and the fxcExport.zip files reside in the same directory (note: the installation script will only add a localization if the c:\fxcHome.bat file exists). The first localization to be installed will be the default. The default can be changed by editing FXA_LOCAL_SITE in FXC/fsl/windows/fxcenvirons.bat. The FXC client will display the other localizations when connected to a server with that localization.

Documentation - The FXC homepage http://fxc.noaa.gov provides a general overview of FXC and also contains links to the Operator and User manuals.
