Trouble installing Tor browser [duplicate]

You need to download the tor browser bundle. You can get it from here.

We will cd into that folder to which you downloaded the file. Assuming it is your Downloads directory, open a new terminal and type:

cd ~/Downloads

Now we extract the contents of the file:

tar -xvf tor-browser-linux64-*.tar.xz

It creates a new folder called tor-browser_en-US. We cd into this folder. This is important as the script to start tor browser should be executed with the present working directory as this folder:

cd tor-browser_en-US

Finally we start the browser:

./start-tor-browser.desktop 

Or you could ignore the last two steps, browse to the folder tor-browser_en-US from the GUI and click on Start Tor Browser


Using the Tor Browser Bundle via PPA, the simplest way.

Tor Browser Bundle is a web browser based on Firefox ESR (Firefox with extended support), configured to protect users' privacy and anonymity by using Tor and Vidalia, tools that come bundled with it. The bundle also includes 4 Firefox extensions: TorButton, TorLauncher, NoScript and HTTPS-Everywhere.

Open a terminal and start the command below

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/tor-browser
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tor-browser

After that, start the browser via Dash.
