IDK about Cyprus, but a lot of shops aren't going to want you to supply your own parts, as protection against their own warranty & liability.

İ found some one but i just need to know if i need any install kit for to put my ring and pinion?

Yes, you need the install kit. Your new ring and pinion set will require slight variance from the factory setup and it is best practice to replace the carrier and pinion bearings at the same time.
 
And probably a new inner axle seal and pinion seal...if the kit doesn't come with one.

BFH Garage on YouTube has some excellent videos for doing your own regear. Highly recommend...even if you pay someone else to do the work it's best to be familiar with the process.

Knowing you're OCONUS (outside the continental unite states), I'm pretty sure there's not much support for Dana equipped vehicles in Cyprus. My suggestion, and if you're going to have a local shop do it, buy DANA Spicer master install kits using quality components with Timken bearings. Also, since you're opening up the rear axle, and you're having US products shipped, replace the rear axle seals and bearings.

Sound advice. Pieced together kits from gear companies are lack luster to say the least.

I would go with ECGS or Spicer/Dana kits.
 
Yukon and Revolution gear sell complete install kits with Timken bearings.

Alternate option is to buy the Dana Spicer boxed parts from Denny's Driveshaft.

I agree with addressing the rear axle seals and outer bearings while you're doing the re-gear if your shop can press the bearing retainers on.

Revolution kits have no shims thinner than 0.010"...Do not go the revolution route. Matt at Revolution refused to understand the problem because "we sell x number of these per year". OK - right down the road to ECGS and picked up a pack for free.

ECGS kit is Yukon parts; both of those are good.
