How do I add references to C#?

Question

I need to upload programmatically files to sharepoint. I read many artiles how to do this . However, apparently my computer does not have most of the references preinstalled. For example I was not able to find anywhere in the reference list such things as Microsoft.SharePoint; , SPSite, SPWeb, SPList , DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Packaging ...

So, where do I get this packages and how can I add them ?

I understand these references similar to jar files in Java. Where can I download missing references
