Looks like some issue with permissions. Are you running the Tor Browser install commands as sudo? or in a session with escalated permissions (see if the shell prompt is # rather than $, for instance)?

in the first place i use root terminal
not first kali and sudo su and then root
in the shell i see #

It is not recommended to run tor as root or install Tor Browser with elevated privileges.
Please switch to a user session on the terminal and try installing Tor Browser after that. All steps are mentioned here, INSTALLATION | Tor Project | Tor Browser Manual
