Getting started with Qubes (in steps)

[E. Foster]

Greetings,

I've been having a lot of difficulty over the past year with Qubes and I wanted to know if I could get some help with the parameters, and dependencies.

1 set up the network connections

     i.e. Wifi

2 set up sys-firewall

3 set up the sys-net

    to use Wifi and Firewall

4 set up  sys-Whonix-gw
    to use the wifi, firewall and/sys-net
 
And a random DSVM that I could use to visit the net for instance. 

***With the most general/secure parameters so that my system works.
Please be mindful, some of the automatic default settings might have changed while I was tinkering with the Qubes OS.

In the past I worked on making clones but due to the dependencies I can't delete/fix some of the VMs.

Question:

Would you know if this is the proper sequence of setting to set up a Qubes system with the respective dependencies?

and...

Or perhaps, a hyperlink to a post where I could copy the commands or steps to get these basic VM/services and my system working-online.

Once, secured and connected, I can update all the applications included in the Qubes full install version. 

Please forgive me, if I am not posting in sequence in other topical threads. 

Thanks,

[TheGardner]

Can try to help you with screenshots or others.

Whats your current status of the system? Is it started, but not connected to the net?

Cheers :)

Thanks for responding,

I was busy trying to figure out what to do, 1) work on 4.0.1 or 2)start with 4.0.3.  Finally, I decided to go with 4.0.3.  So the install occurred last week with the help of some members of the community.  So now, I'd deep dived into the config stuff.  It's quite interesting and logical but the comands-syntax is a bit rough.  I just hope I don't comprimize my device while I am it.  If it weren't for my ISP trying to slow steam downloads I might have sent you this email a few days ago. 

thanks,

Not sure who you're replying to, but all of the above except #1 should
work out of the box on a fresh install. For #1, click the network icon
top right corner by the clock, and configure it from there.
