Since You don't mention the distribution, it is probably Ubuntu... Yes, of course it is possible:

ssh user@remote_linux_server
sudo apt-get install tidy

actually I meant, I want to install it to a server which hosts my website, is it still possible? – Onur Dec 2 '10 at 22:22
If it's a dedicated server- definitely yes; possibly no otherwise (you could contact your hosting provider in this case). Do you have remote shell to this web host? – barti_ddu Dec 2 '10 at 22:27

If you don't have shell access to the remote server, consider authoring content locally on your own PC and running tidy there. Once content is prepared and tested, you can publish/upload it to the remote server.

If necessary, you can install Apache and PHP (or whatever your remote server uses) on a desktop PC (Windows or Linux) for "pre-flight" testing.
