I have created one project in ignition designer , and some opc tags are binded with that, so I want to run this project on another machine/system, then what is its steps? And is it mandatory that ignition is installed in another machine
What project? A gateway project, a Vision (client) project or a Perspective project (which runs on the gateway but is accessed by the client browser)?
What do you mean by machine? A PC or an industrial machine with a PLC?
Please write clearly.
Ok, So I have created one project in ignition designer, in which I have created Perspective one and run this project via Tools ->Launch Perspective ->Launch Session, and it will redirect to browser (http://localhost:8088/data/perspective/client/P1)
So now if I want to run this project on another PC(another desktop) then what is it's steps, any gateway setting is required to change ? Because right now running that project in my local PC. And also is it mandatory that Ignition is installed in another machine where I want to run this project?
If you watch the videos in the link I provided, this is all explained.

As @Matrix_Engineering is pointing out, you are missing basic fundemental knowledge about how Ignition works and you need to take the training.
To answer your question and get you started:
- You need a gateway with Ignition installed, running on it and your project.
- For Perspective you can run as many clients as you want on other PCs. Start the browser and enter
<gateway.ip.address>:8088. - No installation is required on the client PC.

One of your fundamental misunderstandings:
You created one project with the Ignition designer in your local gateway. The project doesn't "live" in the designer, but in the gateway.
The gateway is, among other things, a web server. So clients can connect from other PCs without installing another gateway, as long as the network and firewalls allow it. (Though you might install a Vision Client Launcher or Perspective Workstation in a client.)
