Install Tor Browser on Ubuntu 17.04

Given the brief explanation about the Tor project, we proceed to explain the installation of this browser on our system.

First we will have to open the terminal and execute the following commands, which depending on what type of architecture they handle, will be the one indicated for the installation:

For 32-bit systems.

First we will have to do the installation package download that Tor offers us directly and unzip the file when the download is complete.

wget https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/7.0/tor-browser-linux32-7.0_es-ES.tar.xz

tar -xvf tor-browser-linux32-7.0_es-ES.tar.xz

Then we place ourselves inside the folder that we unzipped and we run the browser.

cd tor-browser_en-ES/

./start-tor-browser.desktop

For 64-bit systems.

For systems with 64-bit architecture, the same process applies, only we download the package indicated for this architecture.

wget https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/7.0/tor-browser-linux64-7.0_es-ES.tar.xz

tar -xvf tor-browser-linux64-7.0_es-ES.tar.xz

cd tor-browser_en-ES/

./start-tor-browser.desktop

When executing this command, the graphical environment of the browser will open, as well as the start of our browser which shows us that we have changed our Public IP for another.

In case of wanting change our supposed Public IP address, we will have to press on the "Use a new identity" button and ready!

Now, we can create a direct access to the system and thus avoid needing the terminal to open Tor.
