If you have ssh access you do the same thing as if you had a terminal
window open on your desktop machine (assuming this is Linux or some
Unix variant).

How you actually install your Lisp depends on the specific compiler
and the OS.  On Debian in most cases you can install the Lisp compiler
itself and most of the libraries with apt-get (from the "testing"
branch).  On Gentoo it's something similar, I think it's called
'emerge.'  On other Linux distributions or on, say, FreeBSD it
depends.  For CMUCL, for example, you download (with, say, wget) the
correct tarball from the CMUCL website and untar it in /usr/local -
that should be it.

To install mod_lisp you can again use apt-get if you're on Debian (and
probably emerge on Gentoo) - or you follow the instructions on the
TBNL website to install it manually with apxs.

For the libraries - if you don't get them via apt-get or emerge you
might want to try ASDF-INSTALL.  A tutorial can be found here:

Does that help?
