About Installing Platform Manager
If the target machines are not configured for remote access, you download the Command Central bootstrapper to the target machine and use the bootstrapper to install Platform Manager.
If the target machines are configured for remote access (typically the case for UNIX systems and for Windows systems equipped with OpenSSH), you install Platform Manager from Command Central. Command Central uses the SSH user to connect to the target machine.
If Command Central is in a development environment, you can create a product installation on the Command Central host machine. In this case, you must first install Platform Manager into the directory into which you plan to install the products. The product installation directory must be a different directory than the Command Central installation directory.
