I am novice in linux and do not understand its meaning. But I have installed
"nfs-utils" package on all pc's. Could you please let me know what should I
do in order to meet this condition?

I have installed wien in all nodes with the same specifications.

Yes. I have chosen "ssh" in the "siteconfig_lapw" step.

> Can we see your .machines file?

Here is the ".machines" file content:
-----------
1:localhost
1:condmat2
1:condmat3
1:condmat4
1:condmat5
granularity:1
extrafine:1
