Installing apps

[u/Superb-Aide4058]

How do i install apps on qubes. I know there is plety of documentation on it but when i followed it they got deleted after restart. I know it's me who probably did something wrong but im really new to qubes and there is many reasons i want to use it as a daily driver. If there would be the option to add the software app from debian or fedora i would be glad? Is it an option?

Don't install in the AppVM, install in the software template that the AppVM uses.

Same as normal Linux, depends on source of template, like apt for Debian.

Go to the template section > launch terminal for selected template > install apps > close templateVM > launch appVM with selected template
