Hey guys, I am trying to get the stack up and running, but I am having some trouble with Fleet. My first question is.. does Fleet need to be installed on its own VM, or can it be installed on the same one as elasticsearch and kibana?
Currently, I have elasticsearch and kibana installed on one VM and running on ports 9200 and 5601.

You can install on the same machine.
