From Version 6.5.0

For operating CMS Fiona, you require third-party software (OpenSource libraries and applications), for example the openSSL library.

This software is included in the CMS Fiona installation package. We provide this software as it is, i.e. without liability for its being up-to-date or its operativeness. From version 6.7.1, this software is always installed.

From version 6.5.0 to 6.7.0, the setup procedure will ask you to install this software if one of the prerequisites is not met. If you choose to install and maintain the required software yourself (to stay up-to-date, for example), please refer to the following table for the detailed list of required packages. If your distribution does not include one or more packages in the required version, please download this software from the specified source and follow the installation notes.
