Linux & SSH

[CrazyMerlin]

Does anyone know if it is possible to install software on a remote server if I have root access via SSH?

It is a VPS, and the install package I want is already on the server, so I just need to remotely get it going.

Possible?

Very possible. It depends on what distro your using though, as different distros have different package management utilities. The most common are yum and apt-get, I'd recommend looking at your distros documentation to see which to use, then the documentation on how to use it.
