Install Tor Browser on Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS AWS Workspace)

1. Download TOR tar package from https://www.torproject.org/download/ (Linux Version)
2. It will usually save in Downloads folder, however if you have a different settings you will have to check in which folder the package downloaded.
3. Go to terminal and search for such folder. In my case: ‘Downloads’ folder.

//START//

$ cd /Downloads

//END//

1. After that, type the following command to extract the Tor setup file’s contents. :

//START//

$ tar -xvJf tor-browser-linux64-9.0.10_en-US.tar.xz

//END//

1. • Disclaimer: [tor-browser-linux64-9.0.10_en-US.tar.xz] is the file name. It can be different if you are located in other country or you want it to be in a different language. In my case the name is en-US because I choose that specific package.
2. Open the Tor browser’s directory

//START//

$ cd tor-browser_language

//END//

• • My case:

$ cd tor-browser_en-US

//

1. Now run Tor, type:

$ ./start-tor-browser.desktop
//

1. Add Tor Browser to applications

$ ./start-tor-browser.desktop --register-app
