The pre-built distributions given here contain the extracted contents of both "fer_environment" and "fer_executable" files. After extracting, run bin/Finstall
only with option 2 (skip option 1, it has already been done). The pre-built distribution files do include the traditional fer_environment.tar.gz
and fer_executables.tar.gz
for those who wish to use these files. These files just duplicate other files already in the pre-built distribution.
