1.**You are running Linux or Mac OS X:** you need the `make_fcp_x3g` Bash script. Open the script in an editor, and modify it according to its instructions until you hit the “`No user serviceable parts`” line. When done, ensure the file is executable (`chmod a+x make_fcp_x3g`) and remember the full path to where you placed it. A suitable location would be a ‘bin’ folder in your home directory where you might also store other personal executable files. You can now move to *step 2.*

A suitable location would be a ‘bin’ folder in your home directory where you might also store other personal executable files. An easy way to obtain the absolute path in Mac OS and many recent Linux UIs, is to drag the file into a terminal window. You can now move to *step 2.*

2.**You are running WSL inside Windows:** you need the `make_fcp_x3g` Bash script, but also a BAT wrapper script to invoke it from within Windows. Follow the *WSL instructions* subsection below.

3.**You are running Windows but have no WSL:** you need the `simple_ffcp_postproc.bat` script. Follow the *Fallback BAT script* instructions below. This BAT script only does the bare minimum to use PrusaSlicer with the FFCP, it is much recommended to use `make_fcp_x3g` instead if you can.
In the above lines, replace “`/your/linux/path/to`” with the full UNIX style path inside the Linux environment where you placed the *make_fcp_x3g* script.

There are two variations on the config bundle: most likely you will need the regular one. The other one (with ‘MVF’ in its name) is only to be used if you have upgraded your printer with the [MightyVariableFan system](https://github.com/DrLex0/MightyVariableFan).
