It's normal to install Debian using a monitor, even if you're not using the graphical installer. If you configure the system to run as a server, then the monitor may be removed later, once you've got everything set up the way you want it. Or it can be left in place, in case the sighted person ever needs to visit to debug or change something. That's for you two to decide.
