Installation Overview
HOTROD is deployed using a single executable, which runs both the Server and Agent components.
Each deployment consists of at least a single Server that can manage multiple Agents. Agents connect to the Server via a HTTP API.
As an option, the Server may start its own built-in Agent via the stand-alone mode. This is useful when handling light workloads and for testing purposes.
To summarise, a deployment consists of the following steps:
Obtain the executable for your target platform.
Install the executable.
Configure and start the Server.
There is an option to configure and start one or more Agents.
