This computer is a Macbook Pro. I installed Debian without errors, not even network errors like my other computer. I rebooted the computer and I was taken to a grub screen where I can select ???Debian GNU/Linux??? or ???Advanced Options for Debian GNU/Linux.??? I chose the first option. Then I was taken to a tty1 prompt for me to login. I know how to login into the shell and issue commands, I just do not know what to do at this point. This is something that I have not had happen before. I just would like to login to my KDE desktop.

Don't top post here.
Always continue conversations on the mailing list, not in
private, unless someone asks you to take it private. That way,
other people get the benefit (and other people can help).
Nobody's impressed by a doctoral degree here, whether it be
MD or Ph.D. or JD.
You said "I know how to login into the shell and issue
commands"; and I told you to do that, and then what to do
afterwards in order to install KDE.
Where it says login: give your username.
Where it says password: give your password.
You are now in a shell.
Gain root privileges either by typing
su -
(and give the root password)
or
sudo -s
(and give your own password)
Now you have root privileges.
type
apt install kde-full
to install KDE.
