I downloaded qubes os to my computer, but it comes with only dom0 cube. I doesn’t come with any template or network cubes. Because the initial setup screen doesn’t appears when I boot it for the first time. I tried to download it over and over again but it doesn’t work. Can you please help?

Hi ArchCuber
Nice that the problem is gone – in order to help the next one with a similar problem, could you share a few
