Have you seen the instructions on the PLINK website for downloading and installing PLINK?

I read it, but it did not talk about how to install it on the server. For example to run R script on server we can write: R CMD BATCH helloworld.r so for PLINK what we shall write?

You are talking about two different things, execution and installation of a tool/script.

If you scroll down far enough on the page I gave a link to above, there is a section called 'Running PLINK from the command line' which gives you some examples of plink commands.

In addition, there is useful documentation here http://pngu.mgh.harvard.edu/~purcell/plink/dist/plink-doc-1.07.pdf

Chapter 1 is Getting started with PLINK, and Chapter 2 is a tutorial using a small dataset.
