I Simply Cannot Install Tor Browser in my Chromebook

[Terron Hampton]

Hello. I have spent hours the past week trying anything I can to install Tor Browser to no avail. I've read all of the how-to guides with detailed commands, etc. and nothing works for installing Tor Browser in Debian Bullseye 11. I have the Tor Browser downloaded file, but I cannot seem to make it visible to linux. I've looked and looked around and nothing. Is there any way I can live chat with someone and try some of the tricks and can get good commands for installation and hopefully get great results? Please, please help me.

Sincerely 

Terron

There is a package named torbrowser-launcher which helps you downloading
and installing the Tor browser. I'd recommend giving it a try.

If you want to do the install yourself, you'll have to provided more
details on what you have tried:

- where did you get the package from?
- what's the package file name?
- what do you mean by "visible to linux" (we don't see
what you see ;-)

Probably a couple of other things.

Cheers

Hello,

(I don't use Tor)

For the upstream version of tor you downloaded from the Tor website, there does not seem to be en entry generated in the application menu of some desktop environments (Gnome and possibly others).

For a better integration, the favored way of installing applications in Linux is to use a package manager or a Linux app store, not to download and install an application from its upstream editor. Tor is packaged by Debian.

There is a page of the Debian wiki detailing Tor usage and its installation:
