This document provides Linux instructions for downloading and extracting the Tor Browser archive file with the tar command. It then explains how to change directories to the Tor Browser folder and launch the Tor Browser either by clicking the icon or running a desktop file command.

1. Linux Instructions
Download the architecture-appropriate file above, save it somewhere, then run one
of the following two commands to extract the package archive:
tar -xvJf tor-browser-linux32-5.5.2_ tr .tar.xz
or (for the 64-bit version):
tar -xvJf tor-browser-linux64-5.5.2_ tr .tar.xz
(where LANG is the language listed in the filename).
Once that's done, switch to the Tor browser directory by running:
cd tor-browser_ tr
(where LANG is the language listed in the filename).
To run Tor Browser, click either on the Tor Browser or the Tor Browser Setup icon
or execute the start-tor-browser.desktop file in a terminal:
./start-tor-browser.desktop
This will launch Tor Launcher and once that connects to Tor, it will launch
Firefox. Do not unpack or run TBB as root.
