Hello guys,

I am pretty new to PBSpro, i have a single server (one node) with 32 cores, i would like to install openpbs to this server.

So am i fine if I only install PBS-execution on this node without installing pbs-client or server?

also if someone has a recipe for pbspro installation for single node it would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.
