I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 bit OS. How do I install tor so that it works and doesn't give me an error message? I got tor as an archive file (tar.gz) and I have an amdx64 architecture. I am new to linux as I am coming from a windows background. Please help.

- Download https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/linux/tor-browser-gnu-linux-i686-2.3.25-6-dev-en-US.tar.gz (or more recent from https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en )
- Uncompress it.
- Execute
start-tor-browser
- A dialog appears with a progress bar. After a minute or so a Firefox window will appear, it is anonymized.
Just a little more description here but more or less saying same as above.
Open from the tor website. Uncompress the file using the following command in a terminal window:
> tar zxf tor-browser-gnu-linux-i686-2.3.25-6-dev-en-US.tar.gz
Then from the terminal type from the directory where you unzipped it (probably Downloads)
> cd tor-browser_en-US
Where cd
is the command you use to change directory
To run type
> ./start-tor-browser
