to complete install

provided you can boot into some sort of desktop and you are now online, 
Ubuntu comes with a couple of package managers that hook up to 
safe repositories.

the one i prefer to use is synaptic but there is also the "ubuntu software 
center".

in the drop down menus on my system both are under the 'system' submenu

you can also launch synaptic from a terminal by using

sudo synaptic

once it is open search for the programs you need, mark them and then apply 
to do the install. no complex downloading running make and other terminal 
commands, etc.
