Hi,
Tacker is MANO service, it will connect to the VIMs registered on it and call the endpoints to create resources on it like instances, alarms, etc. Being this said.
Tacker could be installed standalone outside OpenStack and register any VIM (OpenStack and k8s supported at this moment).
Just need to follow the following steps in https://docs.openstack.org/tacker/latest/install/manual_installation.html. Could be in the same nodes as your controllers or separate nodes, only need access to the APIs and databases.
If want to try standalone or complete OpenStack deployment with tacker, in kolla-ansible we have support to tacker and all other required services. https://docs.openstack.org/kolla-ansible/latest/reference/orchestration-and-nfv/tacker-guide.html

Tacket has an installation guide. You want to add it to an existing cloud, so manual installation seems to be the way to go.
In theory, install it anywhere; in practice, an OpenStack controller has the required infrastructure already.
Ok thank you for the clarification
