Download and install

Install Docker Desktop

Docker Desktop is a virtual machine for running containerised applications which is free for non-commercial use.

Downloaded from here: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/

Download the image and create a container

Start a Windows Command Prompt or a bash shell and run the following commands.

docker pull sdmxio/fmr-mysql:latest
docker container create --name fmr --publish 8080:8080 sdmxio/fmr-mysql:latest

Start up

Start the FMR container

docker start fmr

The container will take between 1 and 2 minutes to start.

Using a normal web browser, navigate to http://localhost:8080/

The FMR home page should appear when startup is complete.

Log in using the root superuser account

Log in as the root superuser to start administering the environment. The default credentials are:

  • Username: root
  • Password: password

It’s a good idea to change the default password to something more secure which can be done in the Security section of the admin pages:
http://localhost:8080/settings/security/rootuseraccount.html

Shutdown

docker stop fmr
