Patch manager issue

Question

Hi all, I hope you are well

I have 5 modules(NPM, SAM, NTA, VNQM, and NCM) installed on one server and uses an SQL database located on a different server. I tried installing patch manager inside the server which contains these 5 modules, when the install completed I noticed services disappearing from Orion services manager.*like after installing only few services were present*). . should I install patch manager on a separate server. I want to ask what's the best practice for this. please help

Thanks

Best deployment practice

Install Patch Manager on its own server,using a remote SQL server.For evaluation purposes, the installer deploys a local SQL server on the Patch Manager server.
