Install gnome via tasksel on Debain 12

Tasksel is already installed on Debian 12, so you don’t need to install it. However, if for some reason tasksel is not installed on your system, you can install it via the command below

sudo apt install tasksel

To install Gnome via tasksel, you need first to run tasksel

sudo tasksel

Note: sudo permission is required to run tasksel, so make sure that the user that you are going to install the desktop environment has sudo access.

And tasksel should start as shown in the image below

Now, you need to select the desktop environment that you want to install. You can use the arrow keys to move up and down, and then press spacebar to select the desktop environment, in this case we are instaling “Gnome”, so select Gnome.

Once you choose the desktop environment, press tab button and select the OK button

Next, the installation of Gnome desktop environment should start

Note: This process might take a while so give it some time to complete.

Once the installation has been completed, you need to reboot your computer. And then on the login screen, you need to select the Desktop environment that you will be using for that session.
