Install fmWorkMate

There are different versions of fmWorkMate available, depending on your operating system.

fmWorkMate is designed primarily for macOS - where the MBS Plugin can work its integration wonders - and is extensively tested there.

For Windows there is an older runtime version available.

Install the latest version on a Mac

To install fmWorkMate, simply

1. Download the latest release of fmWorkMate
2. Unzip the archive
   • Note: If instead of using the latest release you have downloaded the latest code from the main repo using Code > Download ZIP, you will need to rename the fmWorkMate-main folder to just fmWorkMate
3. Move the fmWorkMate folder to your Applications folder (or wherever you like to keep your apps)
4. Double-click the fmWorkMate.fmp12 file to launch fmWorkMate in FileMaker Pro

Install the archive runtime version on Windows

On windows there are two options:

1. If you don’t need the full functionality of the latest fmWorkmate and just want to get the job done quickly, install the old Windows runtime version of fmWorkMate
2. If you want to use the latest version of fmWorkMate with as much functionality as possible (and are willing to help test and report issues), install the latest macOS version of fmWorkMate and run it in FileMaker Pro for Windows (some features may not work as expected)

Please help me get fmWorkMate working on windows properly by reporting any issues you find on the GitHub Issues page, thank you!

Old Windows runtime version of fmWorkMate

This version has more limited functionality, is no longer actively maintained, but is still available for download.

To install the old fmWorkMate Windows version:

1. Download the fmWorkMate Windows runtime version from the Archive Windows Runtime Version on GitHub
   • Click Code > Download ZIP
2. Unzip the fmWorkMate-Archive-Win-master.zip archive
3. Unzip the fmWorkMate_Win_20140113.zip archive it contains
4. Move the fmWorkMate folder to your preferred location, such as to Program Files
5. Double-click the fmWorkMate.exe file to fmWorkMate
6. Right Click the fmWorkMate tab in the windows task bar and select Pin to taskbar for easy access in the future.
