Hi there,
You should be able to install WordPress on an existing Droplet by following the steps here:
Note that if you already have a webserver running on port 80/443 there will be no need to install Apache as it will not be able to start on the same port.
Feel free to share more information about your exact current server setup and I will be happy to give you more information!
