you can't run OBS from a server install, you need a desktop environment and more importantly you need an X Server running. You can go with standard ubuntu which is a unity desktop or kubuntu which is kde or xubuntu which is xfce or lubuntu which is lxde. Each command is slightly different to install the desktop environment of choice. google is your friend
