It depends. If you have a workstation that is mounting the server's
mcidas home directory (where you installed McIDAS-X), then there is no
need to install it on the workstation. You can just use the instructions
on configuring user accounts. If it is a completely standalone
workstation (no mounting of server mcidas home directory), then you will
need to install it on the workstation using the same procedure as for
the server.  

I try not to roll my eyes back because it gives me headaches. ;-)
