Hello,

I installed Debian 10.2.0 from a USB drive and the installation finished 
without errors. The only thing that happened during install is that it was 
unable to setup the network. Anyways, I removed the USB drive and rebooted the 
computer. It then booted into grub.


This is expected, as GRUB is Debian's default boot loader.


There was a message telling me I can press TAB to get a list of commands


This is less expected. GRUB should display a menu.
What was the GRUB prompt, simply "grub>" or "grub rescue>" ?
If "grub>", the config file grub.cfg is missing.
If "grub rescue>", GRUB was not installed properly.


but I know nothing about grub and I do not know how to fix the computer so that 
it boots into Debian. Will someone please help me with this?


If you don't know GRUB shell's syntax, then I guess the easier way is to 
boot the Debian installer, select "rescue", follow the steps and 
reinstall GRUB when the option is offered. Make sure you select the 
proper root/boot partition.

Grub should have given you a menu with (probably) two options; something
like:

Debian GNU/Linux
Advanced Options

If you did not get such a menu, something went wrong during the install.
