FirefoxWebdriver on remote machines

Is it required to install the Firefox web driver on the remote machines acting as node or hub? I tested the hub and nodes locally? I think, it is necessary to install the web driver on the hub and node. Any comments or suggestions?

Update:

Selenium jars are running (i.e. Java is installed and web driver also exists within the selenium jar as per the documentation). Why am I getting this error 

Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.remote.ErrorHandler$UnknownServerException: Unable to connect to    
host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms. Firefox console output:

Also,

(process:13023): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
Error: no display specified

Thanks in advance!

You don't need anything on the machine that runs the hub except the selenium jar.

On the machine that runs the node you only need firefox itself to be installed, and the selenium jar running. Firefox doesn't need a webdriver, only chrome.

from documentation

Firefox driver is included in the selenium-server-stanalone.jar

Yesterday, I was able to find the root cause, I was running these on the headless machines and needed those to be configured in order to launch ff. Thanks for your help!
