When reporting a bug, please include as many of these as possible:
- Operating System you are using
- Tor Browser version
- Tor Browser Security Level
- Step by step of how you got to the issue, so we can reproduce it (e.g. I opened the browser, typed a url, clicked on (i) icon, then my browser crashed)
- (optional) A screenshot of the problem
- The Tor log
I decided to install Tor Browser. My laptop runs Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) x86_64. I found and followed the steps to get it from Debian repository by adding the gpg key here - Debian Repository | Tor Project | Support
These were the steps I completed successfully:
# apt install apt-transport-https
Created the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list file with the following content:
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org bullseye main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org bullseye main
Next step didn’t work out right away but after I realized I have to prepend the tee command with sudo it worked and I noticed how the /usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg appeared:
# wget -qO- https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89.asc | gpg --dearmor | tee /usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null
Lastly I had to do this:
# apt update
# apt install tor deb.torproject.org-keyring
The installation process seemed successful to me but I could not find the Tor Browser directory anywhere on my system. Hence, I could not run the file to start it.
First, I checked the dpkg command to see which files where installed:
~$ dpkg --listfiles tor
