[Trisquel-users] Issues when trying to install tor browser

[jbahn]

I just tried to install tor browser.

I downloaded and signature-checked from  
https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en


When running tar -xvfJ tor-browser-linux64-7.0.4_en-US.tar.xz

I was met with:

tar: J: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Afterwards I decompressed via the file manager.

Following this guide:

https://cialu.net/install-tor-browser-on-linux-and-set-up-a-launcher/

I want to set-up a launcher. But When entering

sudo mv tor-browser_en-US /opt

I get

mv: inter-device move failed: ‘tor-browser_en-US’ to  
‘/opt/tor-browser_en-US’; unable to remove target: Is a directory


Any help on problem and/or solution?

For the first error, the J needs to come before the f: tar looks at whatever  
follows the f to find the file to extract, and in the above case that  
happened to be 'J'.


For the second error, is there already a folder called  
'/opt/tor-browser_en-US'? I'm not entirely sure this is the problem, but if  
such a folder exists, it has to be moved out of the way before you can copy a  
new folder in there.

I just downloaded it today, was having trouble with the command line install  
instructions as well, I don't know why but a lot of command line instructions  
don't work for me and I'm not familiar enough to figure out why, but I  
extracted It in downloads  was able to run TOR from there.  Moved it to  
desktop and all set.  Except I think I'm gonna move it to a Flash drive  
instead.Make sure to adjust your security settings in TOR when you first  
launch it comes configured at the lowest security setting.
