In addition to the default method of installing Remote Solve Manager along with Workbench, it is possible to install a standalone RSM package (that is, to install everything necessary to run the RSM application and RSM launcher service, but without applications such as Ansys Mechanical, Ansys Fluent, and so on). You can install the standalone RSM package on either a Windows or a Linux machine via the Ansys Product Installation wizard, as follows:
Run the wizard as described in Installing Products using the Ansys Automated Installer.
On the Select the products to install page:
Under Ansys Additional Tools, select the Remote Solve Manager Standalone Services check box.
Deselect all the other check boxes.
Continue the installation process as directed.
Note: When you install a standalone RSM package, this does not mean that the RSM launcher service is installed at the same time. You still need to install the RSM launcher service on the cluster submit host. For instructions, see Installing and Configuring the RSM Launcher Service.
