You can install it as a No GUI version (when you boot from the installation DVD select core when you are asked for the version of 2008 r2 you want to install.

Or you can install it as a feature once you have installed the OS. It should be listed under "Features" in the Server's default panel that shows up when you log on to the server.

Which edition i need to install for hyper v.

standard , enterprise , datacenter and i can also see something like HPC
The one you have the License for. It is there in standard, enterprise and datacenter.
Hyper-v can be installed as a role in windows server 2008 R2 standard/datacenter/enterprise. It can also be installed as a standalone server, which is a free download from Microsoft called Hyper-V R2 server. Hyper-V R2 requires that Remote Server Administration tools are installed on a Windows 7 or windows 2008 R2 box for management. In addition, SCVMM (System Center Virtual Machine Manager) is highly recommended for administration.

Some docs:

Irnmamont, thanks for ur explanation.

So basically when i create a cloud i should be installing hyper v on the baremetal and then manage my cloud.

Or can i install Windows 2008 R2 on a Vm and enable the Hyper V role and then start managing the cloud.

I will be using Windows Azure for my Private cloud
