Thanks, the detailed description helped to better understand the commands. So in order to install one of the template-files, the user has to do this: 1) Download the template-file to a VM from this link: https://qubes.3isec.org/Templates_4.0/ I will try to download the following file as I would like to get a GUI desktop: https://qubes.3isec.org/Templates_4.0/qubes-template-bionic-desktop-4.0.1-202001121248.noarch.rpm <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fqubes.3isec.org%2FTemplates_4.0%2Fqubes-template-bionic-desktop-4.0.1-202001121248.noarch.rpm&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNH2J5k5Sk36ySKBfxnLTYciH9K34g> 2) Copy the file to dom0 by executing this command in the dom0 terminal: qvm-run --pass-io The_name_of_the_VM_the_template-file_was_downloaded_to 'cat /home/user/Downloads/template.rpm' > /template.rpm Remember to write the name of the VM the template-file was downloaded to instead of "The_name_of_the_VM_the_template-file_was_downloaded_to" and the name of the template-file instead of "template". 3) To check that the file is copied to dom0, execute this command in the dom0 terminal: ls 4) To install the template, execute this command in the dom0 terminal: sudo dnf install template.rpm Info: The "dnf install" command is used to install a specific package. If the user shall do any other things to install the template and make it run properly, please write the steps in a detailed way so that all qubes-users are able to follow the steps. If these steps is all the steps the user has to make to get the template up and running, please write this in a comment. I will then try to install the template, see how it works and return with a comment about this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
