3 Tor Browser Launcher is intended to make the Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) easier to
4 maintain and use for GNU/Linux users. You install ```torbrowser-launcher``` from your
5 distribution's package manager and it handles everything else, including:
7 * Downloading the most recent version of TBB for you, in your language and for
9 * Automatically updating (while preserving your bookmarks and preferences)
10 * Verifying the TBB's [GnuPG signature](http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/x135.html)
11 * Adding a "Tor Browser" application launcher to your desktop environment's menu
13 Tor Browser Launcher isn't in any Debian repositories yet, but it will be soon.
18 If you're using a Debian-based distro like Debian, Ubuntu, or Linux Mint, the
19 following instructions will install dependencies, clone this repo, build a .deb, and
22 sudo apt-get install python-stdeb python-gtk2 python-psutil python-twisted python-lzma wmctrl gnupg fakeroot
23 git clone https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher.git
24 cd torbrowser-launcher
25 ./build_and_install.sh
30 I've created a PPA where I'm maintaining torbrowser-launcher binaries. You can install in an Ubuntu-based distribution like this:
32 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:micahflee/ppa
34 sudo apt-get install torbrowser-launcher
42 You need to have ```stdeb``` installed. If you're using Debian or Ubuntu you can
45 apt-get install python-stdeb
47 Also install the ```torbrowser-launcher``` dependencies:
49 apt-get install python-gtk2 python-psutil python-twisted python-lzma wmctrl gnupg fakeroot
54 To build a Debian source and binary packages:
56 python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command sdist_dsc bdist_deb
58 Once you've made a ```.deb```, you can install by running this as root:
60 dpkg -i deb_dist/torbrowser-launcher_VERSION_all.deb
