It is discussed from where to download the Linux and macOS installers of the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), version 6.9.1. The installation process is covered and differences highlighted between Linux and macOS. The use of different shells, Bash and Z-shell (zsh), is presented. Specifically, how to add information about FDS and Smokeview path, default settings for OpenMP (OMP_NUM_THREADS) and unlimited stack size to the `.bashrc` or `.zshrc`. Finally, FDS is started to check if the installation was successful. This is a Fire Dynamics Simulator tutorial.
