After the Chef server is installed, and I run the reconfigure command:

$ sudo chef-server-ctl reconfigure

In the end, it state Chef Client finished, opscode Reconfigured!

So I was wondering did I install Chef Server to it or chef client?

Chef-server install use chef client in local mode to configure itself, create config files, etc. so you installed chef-server yes. - Tensibai

You installed both. The installer for chef-server is really just a set of cookbooks that run with chef-solo. If the chef-server-ctl command exists, then you installed the server (which also installs the client). Does that make sense?
