Scali MPI Connect can be installed on clusters in one of two ways, either as part of installing clusters from scratch with Scali Manage, or by installing it on each particular node in systems that do not use Scali Manage. In the first case the default when building clusters is to include Scali MPI Connect as well, whereas in the second case the cluster is probably managed with some other suite of tools that do not integrate with Scali MPI Connect. In the following the steps needed to manually install Scali MPI Connect are detailed.
