Hello! I am a student setting up RSM to run on a SLURM Cluster. I don't have admin privileges for the cluster, but I have SSH access, and I was wondering if I need to install anything related to RSM on the login node (https://supercloud.mit.edu/) to use it or whether having RSM on my local computer is sufficient? If so, is there some guide for doing so that you would recommend?

Yes, there are services that need to run on the head node. Open ANSYS Help and copy/paste the following into the browser address bar.

Thanks! I am using a student account so I don't think I have access to that resource; is that correct?

From other thread:
Hello! I am student trying to set up Ansys Workbench 2021R1 to solve jobs on a SLURM HPC Cluster (https://supercloud.mit.edu/). I have an account on the cluster, am able to SSH into it remotely, and have added the key to the cluster to my LocalHosts file. When I press "getAllQueues" in RSM, I get the following error message, which I haven't seen anywhere else online. Do you have any advice?
ÔÇ£Querying cluster queues failed: Problem during getAllQueues. The parser was unable to parse the output and did not output the variable: RSM_HPC_OUTPUT_GENERIC.

Open Help from the software and then paste the link. You don't have access (ie your UserID doesn't exist) but the software does have access.
