This chapter presents an overview of the Rose installation to provide context for the installation procedures from Installation Quick Start .
The following topics are covered in this section:
The major steps in the Rose installation are listed below. The time required for each major step will vary with factors such as your experience level, your workstation load, and your network performance.
This installation guide refers to the Rose version numbers as I.J.K where I is the major release, J is the minor update, and K is the micro release number. Please substitute the current version number when you see I.J.K.
Rose can be installed on a stand-alone workstation or a client-server network that includes many workstations.
Conceptually, you can have different workstations performing each of these roles:
More commonly, a file server doubles as the license server, and clients double as their own compute servers. In the simplest configuration, a stand-alone workstation performs all roles.
If you are installing Rose on a client-server network, note that you must enter specific commands on specific workstations. For example, the license server daemon must be started on that license server, not on another workstation.
