Install Whonix in Qubes
=======================
Installing Whonix in Qubes is simple and only requires a few simple steps.
### First Time Users
Using privacy and anonymization tools like Whonix is not a magical solution that instantly makes you anonymous online. Please consider:
* Do you know what metadata or a man-in-the-middle attack is?
* Do you think nobody can eavesdrop on your communications because you are using Tor?
* Do you know how Whonix works?
If you answered no, have a look at the [about](https://www.whonix.org/wiki/About), [warning](https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Warning) and [do not](https://www.whonix.org/wiki/DoNot) pages (on the Whonix website) to make sure Whonix is the right tool for you and you understand it's limitations.

### Install Templates
Launch the `dom0` terminal `Konsole` from your Qubes App Launcher. Then enter the following command to install the Whonix-Gateway and Workstation TemplateVMs.
~~~
sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.anon-whonix
~~~
Download will take a while and there will be no progress indicator.
After doing this, you should see two new TemplateVMs in the VM Manager called `whonix-gw` and `whonix-ws` as well as a `whonix-gw` TemplateBased ProxyVM called `sys-whonix` as well as a `whonix-ws` based AppVM called `anon-whonix`.
### Enabling AppArmor
This is an optional security enhancement (for testers-only). If youre technical & interested, see [Enabling AppArmor](/doc/privacy/customizing-whonix/).
### Running Applications
To start an application in the **anon-whonix AppVM**, launch it like any other - open the `Qubes App Launcher` and then select an app such as `Tor Browser`.
