Ubuntu Data recovery after Format

My Ubuntu was giving error so I thought to re-install it. I took backup of my project files and then re-installed Ubuntu 16 from a USB drive. After reinstalling I realized that I missed 2 of my projects to take backup.
I searched for the data recovery software and found testdisk and photorec. But it says that data can be recover before any installation and these software needs to be installed on any other media.
My question is, as I've re-installed the Ubuntu, is it now possible to retrieve/restore the data? Secondly, I need to install the testdisk and photorec on another media i.e. USB drive?
