FEDS can be run on a machine connected to a network. In some circumstances FEDS can even be run remotely from a network computer or file share. However, because each network is different and interference and connectivity issues are possible, for the best performance (and to lower the risk of problems) it is recommended to run FEDS from a local machine.

Installing FEDS will require approximately 1.7 GB of hard disk space. It is also important to have enough free disk space for case files. We recommend another 10-30 MB for this depending on the number and size of site models.
