Could someone tell me, step by step, exactly, how should I install correctly Tor Browser Bundle in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
also, how can I be sure that it is working properly?
Thanks

When checking the signature of the download, the signature should be checked against the .tar.xz.asc
file, corresponding to the .tar.xz
archive. As explained on the Tor page, This should include the following message:
gpg: Good signature
Once the signature is verified, the archive can be extracted. This can be done by right clicking and selecting the "Extract" option.
Navigating into this folder will then allow running Tor. The .exe
file is for use under Windows. The start-tor-browser
is a script that will run under Ubuntu to start Tor.
This will give three options: Terminal, Display, and Run.
Run is fine unless you are troubleshooting or need to see something that is shown in the terminal.
It should not ask you for a password. Programs that do important tasks like installing software need to ask permission to do so, which is why Software Center and others might ask for a password. The Tor browser shouldn't need any extra permissions.
