Is this some kind of trick question? First of all, the clients communicate with the server, not the other way around. Like in any web based applications, the client uses the URI to the server to open the connection.


How to install the server(s) is explained in the product documentation e.g.  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/elm/7.0.3?topic=management-installing which should be carefully read. This is an enterprise application. 

You need to plan the products you want. If you want to play with it for testing, I would suggest to do a local install on some local server. Use a fully qualified host name. You can fake it in the hosts file. I usually use https://elm.example.com:9443/

You can use the web installer or the installation manager and the repositorie(s) from the download page. I prefer the repositories. During the setup, use the defaults with Derby as database. This is for just local testing, is quick and is well enough for playing with it. I use this since years.   

You can also install the clients locally based on installation manager. There are other choices, but that is too much for now.
