lubuntu - How to install the latest Tor Browser. 18.04 version

Question

I've been trying to install the Tor browser in my laptop and I can't seem to install it. I've tried searching for answers in threads that already existed but I can't seem to find that works for me.

Answer 1

Start by installing the apt-transport-https package that is necessary to access a repository over HTTPS and enabling the Universe repository:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install apt-transport-https
sudo add-apt-repository universe

Import the Tor Apt repository GPG key to your system using the following wget command:

wget -q -O - https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89.asc | sudo apt-key add -


The command above should output OK, which means that the key has been successfully imported and packages from this repository will be considered trusted.

Enable the Tor repository:

echo "deb https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

Once the repository is enabled, update the apt package list and install the latest version of the Tor Browser by typing:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install tor deb.torproject.org-keyring torbrowser-launcher


 That’s it. Tor Browser has been installed on your Linux desktop

Answer 2

The other answer doesn't function ant more. When I type "torbrowser-launcher" a window opens saying error 404. If I type simply "torbrowser", it says "command not found"

Go to this link : https://www.torproject.org/download/

Choose your operating system, then the download starts. After you extract the files from the tar, you go one step in the directory and you double-click setup.

After, the setup file disappears and is replaced by start-tor-browser.desktop

You can launch it in a terminal : cd to the directory and type ./start-tor-browser.desktop

Doesn't function for 32 bits architectures. If you have an old machine - thank you for caring for the planet - follow the instructions here: https://tb-manual.torproject.org/downloading/

If you choose to send an email to [email protected] write linux32 as title and body to get links for 32 bits architectures. Then you follow the procedure described above.

The setup file didn't disappear when I double-clicked it, but viewing the folder contents in a terminal I saw the start-tor-browser.desktop file. After a while it also appeared in the tor folder and I was able to drag it to the desktop.
