It can be hard to break the bead on a recently installed tubeless tyre, which you might need to do if you are forced into fitting a tube.
A heel or two with the wheel on a hard surface will usually do it.
Reseating one bead is usually fairly easy with a handpump, and certainly much easier than reseating both beads.
Set the wheel at an angle against a wall with the open bead towards you.
Apply pressure to the centre of the wheel which will push the tyre bead against the rim.
A handpump should then do the job.
