STEP 4: Save Your Script, Press ctrl+o, nano will prompt you to give your script a name, give it a filename like "InstallTorBrowser.sh", or any name that makes sense to you, then press ctrl+x to exit out of nano

STEP 5: Make Your Script Exectutable. type in "sudo u+x "InstallTorBrowser.sh"

STEP 6:  Run Your Script. at this point, make sure that both your script and the tor browser folder are both in your home directory. you can run your script from the terminal by typing "./InstallTorBrowser.sh" or if that gives you error, try "sudo ./InstallTorBrowser.sh"

STEP 7: Run Tor Browser. at this point, you should be able to see it's icon on your menu, and you should be able to run it from there by clicking on it just like any normal application. you can also pin it into your panel if you like :)
