1. if you are doing installation on remote machine through ssh, there may be a chance that your ssh connection break up and your installation terminates, to avoid this problem after doing ssh to host run #screen and do your installation work.
2. if you want to download/long compilation, and then exit from ssh connection without termination download/compilation you can do:

screen -S your_screen_name

Now start downloading/compilation. To exit without teminating download/compile session press CTRL+A then D, it will only detach you from screen. Now after that you want to check the status you do:

screen -x

choose the screen name you gave above:

screen -x your_screen_name
