So I want to install latest Tor (standalone not browser) into my Ubuntu jammy but following the instruction by this link [https://support.torproject.org/apt/tor-deb-repo/](https://support.torproject.org/apt/tor-deb-repo/) when I run this command
```auto
# wget -qO- https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89.asc | gpg --dearmor | tee /usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null
```
I get error “gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found” !
What can I do about this error? Is there another way to add this gpg key?

Are you running that command as root?

That # is hinting OP is indeed running that chain as root. Although it might just be a copy-paste from the support site.
I’d simply go with Fedora and set up dnf-automatic, as the Tor package is kept up to date there.

Yes I get this error with root mode

Well I cannot easily move to Fedora so I prefer to find a way to resolve this problem. For now I just add trusted=yes into my repository to skip checking of gpg.

Can you visit [this URL](http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org) with your regular browser without Tor/VPN/proxy? Or [torproject.org](http://torproject.org) is blocked in your Internet provider?

Any URL related to torproject is blocked in my country but I use proxychains in my terminal to pass the censorship. This is not the matter. I saw this kind of error from other guys that their internet provider dosent block tor urls.

Can you run this command and see the output?
```auto
wget -qO- https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89.asc
