1. Transfer the source codes package to the server via FTP or other measures
2. Extract files from the package, execute command as:
tar -zxvf magicd-x.tar.gz
( *** Notice: x is the release version of the package*** )
If an old version of this software package exists please remove it first.
3. Compile the source codes and install
./configure

Non-root user notice
If you're not logged in as superuser, authentication by the server is disabled. Magic C++ provides password authentication to solve the problem. You have to properly configure username and password before activating the authentication ability.
In [SELF_AUTH] section of /your_magicd_install_path/etc/magic.ini:
modify "username = magicd" to your own login name
modify "password = magicd" to your own password
modify "self auth = 0" to "self auth = 1"
