If you have Linux Debian in your server. The next command (as root) should
download and install everything automatically:

apt-get install aspell-en

If not Debian, probably your distribution has something similar for it,
which is the preferred way to install software in linux.

If you need to install it manually (from sources), ask again saying why.
