2.2. Installation account:
Ensure that you have access to the necessary accounts and permissions to install Project Server 2013.
I created 5 accounts for MS Project:

- SQL Administrator (sqladmin): This account for installation and administration of SQL Server.
- SharePoint Farm (spfarm): The SharePoint Farm administrator.
- Service Application Pool (psServiceAppPool): Runs the application pool associated with the Project Server service application.
- Web Application Pool (psWebAppsPool): Runs the application pool associated with the Web application that will use PWA.

Before installing SharePoint, we need first to install software prerequisites. Make sure the server is connected to internet.
