BC on linux?

[ScottCFR]

I've recently started wondering about BC on a Linux environment. I searched a bit on Google and found it's possible. However, I didn't find how to do it! So, I'm asking on this board, How do I install/run it.

I am using a VPS, and my provider allows most flavors of Linux (CentOS, Ubuntu, etc.)

Thanks in advance

It's not a GUI version of Ubuntu, I noticed it said "Press alt+F2". I can't do that via ssh.
