The wget gives me a file called `fpcup_linux_x86`, not
`fpcup_linux_x86?raw=true`, so try
    wget
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/Reiniero-fpcup/blob/master/bin/i386-linux/fpcup_linux_x86?raw=true
--no-check-certificate -O fpcup

Instead of the above two commands. (It could be specific to my system here)

Now, for my system, I needed the x86_64 version:
    wget
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/Reiniero-fpcup/blob/master/bin/x86_64-linux/fpcup_linux_x64?raw=true
--no-check-certificate -O fpcup

Then chmod'ing fpcup and subsequently executing it works as expected.
