# ASM Location

In the Location dialog box, you can indicate whether the installation is a remote installation or a local installation.

- Select Remote to install on a remote machine. Installations on UNIX and Linux platforms are remote installations.

  For remote installations, an ssh daemon must be up and running on the destination server. This is required to use SSH and SFTP. The access authorization for the installation account is configured.

- Select Local to install on your local machine. Installations on Windows are local installations. You cannot install ASM remotely on a Windows platform.
