You can run that command in SSH, and it should work fine.

[sanplayer]

Do this

wget http://files.sa-mp.com/samp03asvr_R4.tar.gz

tar -zxf samp03asvr_R4.tar.gz

cd samp03

.samp03svr &

^^ That will work in terminal or ssh

Is it for Linux?

He shouldn't have purchased VPS if he doesn't know how to deal with command line.
He has to download putty, connect with provided details and execute commands given above there.

This is a fantastic guide for configuring Putty.

If he is THAT unfamiliar with linux then I suggest he purchase a windows based VPS and use "MSTSC" to remotely connect and run his server.

Best of luck!
