Open Powershell with elevated rights using "Run As Administrator", and run below cmdlets to install prerequisites...

Import-Module ServerManager

This will install all the features and reboot the machine.

Even better, there are a couple of XML file containing all the requirements for different installations:

Look at DVD:\Scripts and you will find these files:

• exchange-all.xml – all server roles
• exchange-base.xml – only the requirements for Forest and Domain prep operations
• exchange-cadb.xml – Central Admin Database role
• exchange-cas.xml – Client Access Server role
• exchange-eca.xml – Central Admin role
• exchange-edge.xml – Edge Transport Server role
• exchange-hub.xml – Hub Transport Server role
• exchange-mbx.xml – Mailbox Server role
• exchange-typical.xml – Typical Exchange server (Client Access, Hub Transport, and Mailbox Server roles)
• exchange-um.xml – Unified Messaging role

run, for instance:

servermanagercmd -ip exchange-typical.xml

include -restart if you want it to restart automatically.
