Downloading the Installation Packages

To install Xpress, use the installer packages available from the downloads area of the FICO Xpress website. When downloading a new release, make sure that you pick the correct installer for your system and license. For example, if you want to use a Linux 64-bit Xpress, make sure this is the package you download (and not, for example, Linux 32-bit).

There are three types of installer;

  • an InstallShield Windows version (Windows 32-bit, 64-bit)
  • an install script version for all the Linux and Unix installers, and
  • a DMG file for Macintosh.

To install an Xpress patch rather than a full Xpress installation, see the section Patch Installation.
