Just to have several Asterisk instances on a single server you do not 
need to install it multiple times. Install it once and start it multiple 
times.

Of course you have to have a dedicated configuration for each server, eg:
/etc/asterisk/instance1/*
/etc/asterisk/instance2/*
/etc/asterisk/instance3/*

Then you start the Asterisk process and specify the location of the 
asterisk.conf file.

asterisk -C /etc/asterisk/instance1/asterisk.conf
asterisk -C /etc/asterisk/instance2/asterisk.conf
asterisk -C /etc/asterisk/instance3/asterisk.conf

Further, in asterisk.conf specify for each asterisk instance a different 
location of: spool directory, PID file, ....
