Building Tor Browser Launcher

First, clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher.git
cd torbrowser-launcher

Then install dependencies, build a package, and install:

Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc.

sudo apt-get install build-essential dh-python python-all python-stdeb python-gtk2 python-twisted python-lzma python-txsocksx gnupg fakeroot xz-utils tor
# If you're running an OS that has python-gpg like Ubuntu 17.04+ or Debian 9+, install that too
sudo apt install python-gpg
./build_deb.sh
sudo dpkg -i deb_dist/torbrowser-launcher_*.deb

Optionally you can install python-pygame if you want to play a modem sound while Tor Browser is launching.

Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, etc.

sudo dnf install python-psutil python-twisted gnupg fakeroot rpm-build python-txsocksx tor pygtk2 python2-gpg
./build_rpm.sh
sudo yum install dist/torbrowser-launcher-*.rpm

Optionally you can install pygame if you want to play a modem sound while Tor Browser is launching.

Run without installing

Install the dependencies: sadly, not all of them are available in virtualenv, so you will need to install (some of) them system-wide. Then, you can run: TBL_SHARE=share ./torbrowser-launcher
