SSL certificate should be installed on your webserver directly. Please edit your question with a server name you have running on Ubuntu instance (e.g. Apache, Nginx, etc.) The further flow will depend on your webserver specifically.

As for SSL certificate file you have, that is a file in PKCS#12 standard. It contains your end-entity certificate in pair with Certification Authority bundle along with private key. As was aforementioned, SSL installation flow depends on a particular webserver. You will need to convert the certificate in the PEM format (3 separate files: end-entity certificate, CA bundle, and the private key) for SSL installation on most common servers like Apache or Nginx. PKCS#12 file can be converted to PEM via openssl according to this answer.
