Analog has a CGI version, Report Magic does not. You most certainly
will not be able to install Report Magic without shell access, and
it's not easy to do without root access.

It's much easier to install both these packages on a Windows or Mac
computer.

Again without shell access, the ability to write scripts and schedule
them in cron, you will not be able to do this on the server.

In Windows you can do most of this with a batch file and Scheduled
Tasks. If your web server uses ssh, then you can use scp to upload the
files from a script. I don't know, but I'm sure there is a
command-line (or macro-capable) email client out there you can use to
email the reports.

If you have shell access you could try installing it. That should be
the easiest way to determine what kind of problems you are going to
have.
