At the bottom of the short first page is the header "General Netiquette".
Read about why it's bad form to multi-post to different news groups.

Don't multi-post. You can cross-post, if you set follow-ups to one
(only) of the cross-posted groups.

Enter your commands.

Multiposting aside...
first would be to type
startx
(assuming you've installed X and a GUI so far)
if not, run dselect or one of the other debian installers and install KDE or
Gnome and all their dependencies.
