    Open your terminal and type:

    sudo apt-get install tasksel

    Then type sudo tasksel in terminal

    enter image description here

    It will open in terminal with options & there you can choose Ubuntu Server with space-bar and then continue. It will download and install Ubuntu Server tools.

    Hope that helps.
