How To Install Tor Browser In Kali Linux
HOW TO INSTALL TOR BROWSER IN KALI LINUX
Rob Russell September 10, 2016 Apps, Internet 25 Comments
Share This:
Tor is free software and an open network. Tor protects you by bouncing your
communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all
around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from
learning what sites you visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning
your physical location. You can read more at TorProject.

HOW TO INSTALL TOR BROWSER IN KALI LINUX USING APT
* Open a terminal window
* Run apt-get update
* Run apt-get install tor torbrowser-launcher and select Y at the prompt
Now you’ll have a new Tor Browser application in the Applications menu under
Usual Applications and Internet. This shortcut will only work if you’re not
running as the root user. See the instructions below if you’re running Kali as
root.
HOW TO INSTALL TOR BROWSER IN KALI LINUX MANUALLY
* Download the Tor Bundle from here: Tor Bundle Download
* Download a package called torbrowser-launcher which can be found here: GitHub
– TorBrowser-Launcher
* Download the architecture-appropriate file above, save it somewhere, then run
the tar command to extract the package from the download directory: tar -xvf
tor*
This command assumes this is the only file in the directory that starts with
“tor”.
* To run the Tor Browser Bundle, execute the start-tor-browser script from the
directory you just extracted: ./start-tor-browser.desktop
This will launch Vidalia and once that connects to Tor, it will launch Firefox.
HOW TO RUN TOR WHILE LOGGED IN AS ROOT
If you’re running Kali Linux as root, you might get an error saying you can’t
run Tor as root. Some website will tell you to edit the launcher script, but
that is not the recommended method. Instead, follow the instructions below to
add a new non-root user.
You can create a new user and configure Tor to run as that user even though
you’re logged in as root. To do so, run these commands from Terminal:
* adduser --home /home/toruser toruser (or whatever username you want to use)
You’ll be prompted to create a password, but you don’t really need to save it
unless you want to actually login as this user. Fill in the other prompts as
needed.
* You’ll need to run xhost si:localuser:toruser from Terminal to get the new
user listed in xhost.
* To run Tor as the new user, use this command from Terminal: sudo -u toruser
-H torbrowser-launcher
You can also edit the Applications menu shortcut, but it’ll require another app
to get installed:
* Run apt-get install alacarte from Terminal
* Run alacarte from Terminal after the app is installed
* Browse through your Applications menu under Usual Applications > Internet and
find Tor Browser and click Properties
* Edit the command box and change it to sudo -u toruser -H torbrowser-launcher
%u
* Click OK and Close
If you’re running the latest version of Kali that uses XFCE as the default
desktop environment then you can’t use alacarte to edit the application menu.
Instead, navigate to the Usual Applications folder and Internet. Then
right-click on Tor Browser and edit the command entry to be sudo -u toruser -H
torbrowser-launcher %u.
VIDEO TUTORIAL
HOW TO UNINSTALL TOR BROWSER IN KALI LINUX USING APT
If you used the Apt method above to install Tor and later wish to uninstall Tor,
you can use the below command to remove and purge all of the packages and files
that were installed.
* Open a terminal window
* Run apt-get remove --purge tor torbrowser-launcher and select Y at the prompt
HOW TO REMOVE TOR USER ACCOUNT
If you used the above methods to create a regular user account to run Tor while
logged in as root, you can use these steps to remove that account and delete the
home directory that was created.
* Open a terminal window
* Run userdel -r toruser (or whatever username you want to use)

not very beginner friendly. wish more tutorials would explain more in
detail. totally lost in many steps

Which steps did you get stuck at? Kali isn’t an operating system for
beginners but I’m sure I could help you get it installed.

I’ve made some significant changes to the article. I hope you find them
helpful and more straightforward.

I followed your instructions to the letter, everything went as your’s did,
no issues at all yet after the alacarte config, Tor will not start at all.
I’m using Kali 2018.3 on hardware.
Reply
* Robert Russell September 29, 2018
Could you paste what you have in the command box from the alacarte
screen?

Hey this is great!
Although, how can i ensure that i am using tor as “toruser” and not root….
is there any way i can check?
Reply
* Robert Russell February 9, 2019
As long as you’re using the commands above to launch Tor you’ll be using
the toruser account. You might be able to check using the top command and
see which user the process is running under.

Hi…
Got a problem, not starting after the alacarte edit. This is what I put in
the alacarte command box, “sudo -u torboxuser -H torbrowser-launcher %u.”
whats going on with this do you think?
Reply
* Robert Russell November 9, 2018
Try
sudo -u torbrowseruser -H torbrowser-launcher %u
No period after the command. And the username after the -u should be the
one you made in a previous command.

Please Explain How can i uninstall it completely, i installed it using your
apt defined method. and performed those adding new user commands, Now i
just want to remove it completely along with the user created, provide a
guide please ! (username is same as in your commands ‘toruser’)
Reply
* Robert Russell February 9, 2019
I’ve edited the article to include instructions to uninstall tor and
tor-launcher as well as removing the user account that was created and
the home directory for the toruser account.

I have a problem .. when I tried to start torbrowser-launcher by using
command
sudo -u toruser -H torbrowser-launcher
I get this
Tor Browser Launcher
By Micah Lee, licensed under MIT
version 0.3.1
https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher
No protocol specified
qt.qpa.screen: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display :0

what to do?

And I manage to get to the point where it says this:
Launching ‘./Browser/start-tor-browser –detach’…
But then when I check the processes running, there is none (except for
the top process itself)
The way I got there was, first I had to adduser –system –home
then later locate the file where torbrowser was starting from and putting
that file with the toruser
/home/toruser/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/i686/tor-browser_en-US
Then from there I could sudo -u toruser -H ./start-tor-browser.desktop
Launching ‘./Browser/start-tor-browser –detach’…
Now, as I said nothing happens.. I also tried installing alacarte and
putting in a shortcut to the other user there.
Earlier I also skipped the step where I move the file, but the result was
exactly the same as now (just tried something different to see if it
worked)
I’m a big noob :D please help!

In the last step ..
“Edit the command box and change it to sudo -u toruser -H
torbrowser-launcher %u”
Change the command to ….
“xhost si:localuser:toruser && sudo -u toruser -H torbrowser-launcher %u”

xhost si:localuser:toruser && sudo -u toruser -H torbrowser-launcher %u
Tried that didn’t work either.

Hi team, just wanted to thank you for the shortcut method.. I spent 20+
hours trying to get Tor running on a kali-lite live USB desktop without
persistence because I’m so new to linux I can’t figure out how to to get
some persistance.
Anyway I wanted to let people know that despite me running kali as root
user I was easily able to intall Tor via your shortcut method. Fast!
My setup: Linux kali 4.19.0-kali3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.20-1kali1
