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](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:

> [@Swathi\_G](#):
>
> created one project in ignition designer

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.)
