In the latest standard Ubuntu, Time and Date settings are found in the
System Settings application which you can reach via the little gear like
symbol that appears in the the top right corner of the screen. It's
probably in one of your menus as well.

Under Time and Date settings if you select the option to synchronise
time with the internet, then it installs and configures ntp for you at
that time. If you don't want to synchronise time from the internet, then
ntp is really not needed.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Tony.
