Install MVC 5 via Nuget. That gives you the binaries and puts a reference in your project. Then when you deploy your application everything needed will be included, and there is no need to install anything on the server.

what is needed on the server, the right .net version, that is all? – MikeAlike234 Apr 05 '14 at 18:18

Yes, you need .NET framework. As per this answer, you need version 4.5. http://stackoverflow.com/a/20386118/268091 – MEMark Apr 05 '14 at 18:40

No it doesn't take the closest one, unless you have a binding redirect, and this only works for lower versions not higher ones. You will need to reference mvc 5 in your project or put the assemblies in the GAC on the server.
