This image shows how (part of) my screen looks like. There is just ~$ and I don't know what to do now.

Before that I had a line saying something like: Proxy ' ' is invalid This however didn't show up anymore. During the installation there was once something with proxy server but I think I left it blank.

    It apparently is the server edition that comes without a GUI. Nothing wrong here. You may have accidentally downloaded the wrong ISO. – Takkat Jul 14 '17 at 12:33
  • So should I just do the installation again with a different ISO file? And by the way I added some information to the question: Before that I had a line saying something like: Proxy ' ' is invalid This however didn't show up anymore. During the installation there was once something with proxy server but I think I left it blank. – Clapham Jul 14 '17 at 12:40
  • just download the desktop version ISO and try or install it. – Sachin Tripathi Jul 14 '17 at 12:47
  • Yeah, downloading and installing the desktop version would be the recommended way. https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop – Takkat Jul 14 '17 at 12:47
  • yeah that will be better. – Sachin Tripathi Jul 14 '17 at 13:24
  • Ok, I will try that. I don't know why I downloaded the server version and not the desktop version. – Clapham Jul 14 '17 at 13:27

That is ubuntu "server". It is ubuntu 16.04 simply without all the nonsence packages.

If you do not want to restart your machine you can install the ubuntu-desktop package to get the GUI up and running. See here : How do you run Ubuntu Server with a GUI?
