The best place for you to get this question answered would be on the AppDynamics community discussion boards. Here's a link for you... http://community.appdynamics.com/t5/Forums-Community-AppDynamics/ct-p/Discussions

The AppDynamics documentation site is also a great resource and you don't even need a login to access them... http://docs.appdynamics.com/

Installation instructions for the controller can be found in: http://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO14S/Install+the+Controller Assuming you are using App Server Agent for Java, installation instructions for that and the machine agent can be found in the above site on the Left Nav table of contents.
The controller is the management server, the app server agent monitors the JVM and the machine agent collects system metrics (such as CPU, Memory, Disk & Network).
Very minimal configuration is required.
