How can i install these packages on to my system

To manually install .deb packages you use the 'dpkg' command - try 'man dpkg'

Server OS's traditionally install very little - they expect you to
install only what you need rather than everything.

You might find 'tasksel' helpful - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel

I think I get it.
Are you saying that you browsed the packages and noticed that most of
the packages in the directory were not installed?
There are a lot of packages there and you do not need them all. The
installation will provide you with ones you need and as you come
across others that you need, you can add them using:
apt-get install package-name.

HTH.
