Find the FairCom folder

The <faircom> folder where you installed the FairCom server contains all files used by the server. The FairCom documentation regularly refers to the <faircom> folder and you must know where to find it to run and configure the server and its command-line utilities.

The installation folder is typically located in a folder named faircom located in the root drive, such as C:\ on Windows, /user on Linux, or /documents on MacOS.

The installation folder has a long name that includes the product name, operating system, 64-bit or 32-bit platform, four part version number, such as FairCom-Edge.windows.64bit.v4.2.0.173.

You may have multiple FairCom products and versions installed in the same <faircom> folder, such as FairCom-Edge.windows.64bit.v4.2.0.173 and FairCom-DB.windows.64bit.v13.0.1.42.
