Instead, follow the instructions below to add a new non-root user. Some website will tell you to edit the launcher script, but that is not the recommended method. If you’re running Kali Linux as root, you might get an error saying you can’t run Tor as root. This will launch Vidalia and once that connects to Tor, it will launch Firefox.

This shortcut will only work if you’re not running as the root user. Now you’ll have a new Tor Browser application in the Applications menu under Usual Applications and Internet.

This can be achieved by right clicking it, choosing properties, and selecting the permissions tab and you will be presented with an option to mark it as executable.Ĭlick apply/save/ok and you should now be able to open the launcher as intended.Related Article: Install Tor Browser in Ubuntu Linux Once there, you will need to mark the Tor Browser Launcher file as executable. You will need to extract the downloaded Tor Browser Bundle to a directory, then navigate to that directory. The other way is to just use Tor that comes with Kali, and setup a proxy to tunnel a browsers traffic through Tor. You will need to create a new user and log in under that to run Tor Browser Bundle. Tor Browser Bundle DOES NOT run with root permissions, it will let you know that if you manage to run it. With Kali Linux, you are logged in as root user(default but not the only option). I'm also going to assume you meant you downloaded the Tor Browser Bundle? I just realized you mentioned Kali linux.

Welcome to the community and definitely thank you for using Tor =D
