One thing to add to Andy's excellent answer, you need to understand that 
"install MPI 1.x" doesn't really make any sense.

MPI itself is just a standard, it's currently up to version 3 and there are 
many implementations of various versions available.

I would recommend you follow Andy's suggestion and install Open-MPI 1.8.1, 
though whether you do so by building RPMs or instead install to a central 
location that all nodes mount via NFS or similar is a choice that is up to 
you.

You may also want to take a look at EasyBuild too:

There is no one way to correctly build a Beowulf cluster, it's really down to 
what your needs are.

Good luck!
