To install software on your server - you can choose one of the following methods:

Download method
A popular method of installing software on your Dedicated Server is by downloading the software from the Internet. You will need to have "administrator" or "root" rights/privileges to perform software installations usually.

Once the software is installed, you will be able to use it as a normal user. If you have a Windows Terminal Server, it is recommended to install the software via the "Add/Remove Programs" section in Control Panel.
