VB.NET application setup with LocalDb on client pc

I'm now finished with my application and am going to deploy it on the client PC. My database is a localDb. What do I need to install in the client PC in order to make it work on the there? The client PC is 32-bit and x64 based processor. I've read that I need to have LocalDb, NET Framework, and Management Studio installed there to work?

1: Depending on the client PC operation system version, and the .NET version that you target, you may not need to install .NET Framework (Windows 8 and later comes with .NET 4.5)

2: You should not install LocalDB, but the smallest SQL Express package. It contains command line tools to interact with the database. Go to: https://www.microsoft.com/da-dk/sql-server/sql-server-editions-express Run the installer, and select "Download media" - "Express Core" to download the SQL Server Express installer
