Instructions for Forge on a Server

[MaxMacher]

I've rented a minecraft server and installed 1.6.2 on it.  I want to put on Forge so I can use NEI.  The server owner says I can but he won't provide support -- fair enough. 

 

I assume I can't run the forge installer on a server.  Are there simple instructions for installing Forge using minecraftforge-universal-1.6.2-9.10.0.804.jar?

 

Is it even necessary to put Forge on the Server or should it just go on my client?

 

Thanks

Server side is needed for server side mods. Install is easy run the install on your computer select server and then select a empty folder it will download all the nessasary files in that folder. Simple move everything that the installer put in that folder to the server and run the forge jar.

Thanks.  I think I understand it all except "run the forge jar".  I'm not a Java programmer so how does one run a .jar?  I don't think I have permission to run anything but the minecraft server and only to start/stop/restart that.

For your particular host, you'd have to ask them.

I can never understand the "i'm not a programmer" excuse for not knowing something that has NOTHING to do with being a programmer...
