With the Manual Installation Method, is there a way to create a symbolic link for a Dash Menu Launcher or a Desktop Shortcut (even if the steps include something like Alacarte)? Or is this method only able to launch Tor from the terminal?

Would it be possible for you to provide the steps for doing so?

I sorry for such a noob request… But I am very new convert to Linux & Ubuntu from Windows!

./start-tor-browser.desktop --register-app
