Bear in mind that using this software requires a SPECweb setup - which
consists of the software procured from spec.org -and- a non trivial test
setup.
I.e. to test a modern 2-4 CPU machine you will typically need to set up 4
to 8 single or double CPU clients which generate the load. Each machine
may need to have two ethernet interfaces - as to keep the management
network separate from the network which carries the test traffic; and it
is not uncommon to need gigabit ethernet in order to carry the load.

There is information about how to install mod_specweb99 in the README files
inside the tarball. Is that the kind of info you're looking for?
