On Linux computers, you can install the Presentation Server only as a non-root user. However, you must provide certain permissions to the nonroot user as a root user. To provide these permissions, perform the following steps:
Provide ownership rights to the nonroot user for all the installation files by running the following command:
chown -R <nonrootuser> installationDirectoryFolderName
nonrootuser is the name of the nonroot user
installationDirectoryFolderName is the name of the folder that contains all the installation files.
For example, chown -R nonroot /Linux/Disk1
Provide ownership rights to the nonroot user for the destination directory and temporary directory by running the following command:
chown -R <nonrootuser> /opt/bmc chown -R <nonrootuser> /tmp chown -R <nonrootuser> /etc
Apply executable rights to the installation files by running the following command:
chmod -R 755 installationDirectoryFolderName
For example,
chmod -R 755 /Linux/Disk1
On the system where you want to install the Presentation Server, complete the following procedure:
Windows
Navigate to Windows\Disk1 and double-click setup.exe.
Linux
As a nonroot user, navigate to Linux/Disk1 and run ./setup.bin.
Note
Ensure that you have set the DISPLAY environment variable.
On the Directory Selection page, the system displays the available space on the current drive and the amount of space required. The Destination Directory box displays the default path for the installation directory.
Retain the default directory or click Browse to select a directory, and click Next.
Ensure that the path for the installation directory does not exceed 125 characters, and the directory is empty.

Role-based user access to the features and components that compose BMC TrueSight Operations Management is enabled by persona-based authorization profiles. Each authorization profile is associated with one or more BMC Atrium Single Sign-On (SSO) Server realms and comprises user groups, roles and permissions, and objects. These authorization profiles determine the features and objects that users can access and monitor. You can use the default authorization profiles as is, or you can modify their attributes. If necessary, you can also create authorization profiles.

Where High Availability Configuration File is located after installation? There is no option to define this during installation.
edit: I found this file - it is automatically stored in :installation dir/truesightpserver/conf/ha/ha.conf
