Hi everyone, struglling with installing tor on lxle.

commands used where:

Code:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/tor-browser
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install tor-browser

when i try to then run tor by simply typing

Code:

$ tor

I receive:

Code:

The program 'tor' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install tor

re running the above commands doesnt help.

Any ideas?
Cheers

Try typing:

$ tor-browser

yes, it should be tor-browser.

shouldn't this:
"sudo add-apt-repository"
be this:
"sudo apt-add-repository"

you should also provide us with the output of terminal commands, or actually read them yourself.
usually they contain hints to what's wrong.

I thought the preferred way to get Tor was straight from their site...not from a PPA. I know that works as intended, I use it often.
