You usually call the install script via a browser, e.g.

Note: usually you have to edit the MediaWiki configuration file as well when adding extensions.

note: I am assuming you want to install a mediawiki extension, so my answer is oriented towards that target... –  udo Jan 13 '13 at 11:18

Get a SSH client such as PuTTY and use it to connect to the host's SSH service. Assuming they have one. If they don't, then you won't be able to do that.
