I am very happy to add your name to the list, and I will include a tag to you in all future posts on the project. I will try to have episode 2 written by Tuesday. However, this is very unclear as I had a very tough last week at work, and I am still in the "catching-up" process. Unfortunately, there are only 24 hours in a day...
To answer your question, I have the code running both on my laptop and a server. I use the laptop for small things (generation of 10,000-50,000 simulated collisions), and the server for more massive collision simulations (from hundreds of thousands dozens of millions). Therefore, having the installation successfully done on both is not a loss of time for future prospects.
