Manually putting mysql and phpmyadmin onto server?

[chickadee]

I'm trying to help my friend out, she has her own server and domain name registered, and we're trying to get mysql and phpmyadmin onto it. How do we do that? Everything we searched is telling us to download mysql onto a computer, but we want it online (like what a hosting provider gives you).

Anyone know what to do? It'd be greatly appreciated, she's eager to get her vbulletin set up!:)

connect to the server with SSH, and follow the installation steps.
