That's because there is no remote Evolution 'server' part, I guess.

Evolution is a graphical email client (or "mail user agent"), primarily
for Linux based systems. It depends on several libraries such as GTK or
evolution-data-server installed and running on the very same system.

Installation procedures for packages depend on your distribution.
Compiling and installing manually is covered on
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution#Developer_Resources
