Apparently you chose to simply download packages.  If you want to 
install them, rerun setup and this time choose to install from a 
local directory (where you downloaded the packages the last time).  
This will install the packages you select in this step.  You could
have also chosen to download and install in one step, which sounds
like it would've been the less confusing option for you.
