At run-time, the Control Root Computer uses this accountto execute EnFuzion processes, and the Compute Nodes use this account to execute EnFuzion processesand rendering applications.While this user account can have any name of the user’s choice, we recommend that you create a user calledenfuzion and give it a valid password. The enfuzion user needs administrative user rights during theinstallation process. After EnFuzion is installed, administrative rights can be removed.Create an enfuzion user account with the Systems Preferences->System->Accounts menu. This accountshould have following characteristics:Name: enfuzionPassword: Allow user to administer this computer (Note the admin user rights can be removed once you’refinished with the installation process.)The enfuzion user account should be used for the installation of the EnFuzion on the Control Root Computerand the Compute Node. A regular user account should be used for EnFuzion on the User Submit Computer.5.1.4 Installing EnFuzion on the Control Root ComputerThe steps to install and configure the EnFuzion Control Root Computer are as follows:Make sure that you have created an enfuzion user account on the EnFuzion Control Root Computer.See Section 5.1.3 for directions.Login as the enfuzion user.Copy the EnFuzion installation package to the enfuzion user’s Desktop or home directory.
