Using Centrify for Windows group policy

I was reading an article on this link:
http://www.centrify.com/directcontrol/directcontrol_architecture.asp

Actually I would like to have our Mac computers under control of windows AD GPOs.
the article states that I need :
- Installing the Centrify DirectManage tools and using Centrify Deployment Manager
but it does not say if It has to be installed on windows domain controller or on another system.

-Using Deployment Manager to install the Centrify DirectControl Agent on target systems and join them to Active Directory.

any prior configuration on Non-windows computers before installing the Centrify DirectControl Agent on them ?

Thank you.

Can you clarify it.
What to install on the client (Mac computers) and what to install in the DC.

the link says:
Deploying the Centrify Suite consists of two steps:

¦Installing the Centrify DirectManage tools and using Centrify Deployment Manager to discover network non-Windows systems in your environment
¦Using Deployment Manager to install the Centrify DirectControl Agent on target systems and join them to Active Directory

it is confusing
