Comments on How to Install and Set Up Tor Browser on Linux

sudo apt-get install torbrowser-launcher

" untar the downloaded file by opening a terminal in the destination" - I don't even know what that means. Just plain English with tech talk that over 50 year old people use and understand would be SOOOOOO appreciated! I have about 12 windows open in firefox and a file saved on a memory stick. I still can't make the magic happen.

Hello Jesse and thanks for your comment.In my posts, I am trying to keep the wording simple but I can't possibly explain in detail every little process. This would be very boring for the more Linux-savvy readers out there. I hope that this is understandable. Now to your question: "untar" means extracting a compressed file. You can do it by right-clicking the downloaded file and choosing the "Extract" option. "Opening a terminal in the destination" means opening the extracted folder and then right-clicking in the white space and choosing the "open terminal here" option. If there isn't such an option, open a terminal and navigate to the destination with the "cd" command. Let me know if you need any further clarifications and I will be happy to assist. :)

What if torproject.org provided such worthwhile information in such and obvious manner. Thank you, howto.........
