Answer 1

I want to install Tidy to a server which hosts my website, is it possible?

Here's a server script that uses libtidy to produce the following output:

Usage: http://127.0.0.1:8080/?tidy&file=index.html

Output:
   Tidying '/www/index.html'

Installation of the libtidy library (Debian/Ubuntu):

sudo apt-get install -y libtidy-dev libtidy-0.99-0

Answer 2

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.

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
