Installing BIRT on a VPS

I made a thread about reporting some time ago and the issue has come back to haunt me.  Doing some research I came across the BIRT, which is part of the eclipse project / foundation (not sure on the proper terminology).

 

I only have shell access to my VPS (hosted by serverpowered) so I can't really design the reports on the machine where I'm intending to run them.  The scenario I'm shooting for is to be able to design the reports on my local PC and then upload the report to the server.  I found a portion of the BIRT documentation that talks about generating a report from PHP as long as the report XML file is hosted on the same server.

 

This leaves me with the task of installing BIRT on the VPS and that's the part that is totally over my head.

Here is the BIRT installation page:

Here is a list of their download options:

I'm wondering if someone patient can help me as this requires a bit more knowledge than I have!
