    6466We differentiate between two perspectives on a computer. The first is the local computer (or local host), which is the computer that you are currently sitting at or are logged in via your terminal (ssh). The second is the remote computer (or remote host), which is any computer with a batch system, that you have {{{ssh}}} access to, but are not logged in at the moment. A typical remote computer is your favorite high performance computing (HPC) facility aka supercomputer. This perspective includes, that your remote (super)computer immediately becomes your local computer as soon as you log into it via {{{ssh}}}.\\\\

    66 With the '''default install script''' and the '''reduced manual installation method''', you can just run PALM interactively on the local computer. They do not allow to setup the creation of batch jobs and restart runs on any local or remote computers. Therefore, these methods are only suitable / recommended for users who like to do a quick test of PALM. However, as pointed out before, you can / should  use the '''default install script''' as a basis for a complete manual installation.\\

    6870The '''manual installation''' gives full access to all PALM features. It should be chosen to setup PALMs ability to run in batch mode on a local or remote computer (see [#requirements software requirements]). It allows to submit a job on the local host while instructing {{{palmrun}}} to execute the job on your desired remote host. The PALM output is then automatically transferred back to the local computer. The '''manual installation''' can of course also be used to work with PALM in interactive mode on the local computer. The installation process for the '''manual installation''' may require a valid account on the remote host as well.\\
