guess you are trying to mine Monero/XMR?

Prerequisites:
root privileges

If apt-get isnt available, youre using the wrong OS.

minergate has compiled binaries of their miner for Linux 64bit (Ubuntu) deb version. You can either copy on the server & install that deb with:
sudo dpkg -i DEB_PACKAGE
or unpack the deb package and copy it to your server. You will find the executable there.
Please share what is your hash rate for xmr on VPS and how much you pay for it. I guess it will be wasted money unless you have a free vps.

What Linux distribution is the VPS running? You can try running "lsb_release -a" and send us the output.

You will also need root access to install software with apt-get, dpkg, or whatever. Do you have root access? Try running "sudo -s" and see if you can get a root shell.

Finally, do the VPS's terms of use allow you to run a miner? Most VPSs, especially free or cheap ones, don't permit high CPU usage for long periods of time. Many will even kill or restart your VPS if the CPU usage is too high for too long, which means you won't end up mining much. You may want to check the provider's terms of use to see if this is even allowed before you get much further into it.
