This installation guide is tested on fresh installation of CenOS 7 (CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1611.iso KDE Plasma Workspaces with Development Tools)
Since there are many absolute paths in slurm.conf, it can be helpful to create a separate user for slurm named *slurm* and use it for Slurm Simulator.
The idea of simulator is to run simulator with various configurtation to compare them and choose one which is more suitable for particular situation. Becouse of this there are going to be multiple configurations with multiple outcomes. Therefore it is convinien to keep slurm binaries separately from the configuration and logs from the simulated run. The following directory structure is recommended used here (the respective directories will be created on appropriate steps during the tutorial)
```{bash, eval=FALSE}
/home/slurm - Slurm user home derectory
└── slurm_sim_ws - Slurm simulator work space
├── bld_opt - Slurm simulato building directory
├── sim - Directory where simulation will be performed
│ └── <system name> - Directory where simulation of particular system will be performed
│ └── <conf name> - Directory where simulation of particular configuration will be performed
