+#### Graphical method

+* When the download is complete, extract the archive using an archive manager.
+
+* You'll need to tell your GNU/Linux that you want the ability to execute shell scripts.
+Navigate to the newly extracted Tor Browser directory.
+Right click on `start-tor-browser.desktop`, open Properties or Preferences and change the permission to allow executing file as program.
    Double-click the icon to start up Tor Browser for the first time.
 
-   **Note:** On Ubuntu and some other distros if you try to launch the start-tor-browser.desktop file a text file might open up.
-To change this behavior and launch Tor Browser instead, follow this: Open "Files" (GNOME Files/Nautilus) → open Preferences → go to the 'Behavior' Tab → Select "Run them" or "Ask what to do" under "Executable Text Files".
-If you choose the latter click on "Run" after launching the start-tor-browser.desktop file.

-6. Alternatively, from inside the Tor Browser directory, you can also start from the command line by running:
+* When the download is complete, extract the archive with the command `tar -xf [TB archive]`.
+
+* From inside the Tor Browser directory, you can launch Tor Browser by running:
 
    `./start-tor-browser.desktop`
 
+   **Note:** If this command fails to run, you probably need to make the file executable. From within this directory run: `chmod +x start-tor-browser.desktop`
+
+* Some additional flags that can be used with `start-tor-browser.desktop` from the command-line:
+
+| **Flag** | **Description** |
+|----------|-----------------|
+| `--register-app` | To register Tor Browser as a desktop application. |
+| `--verbose` | To display Tor and Firefox output in the terminal. |
+| `--log [file]` | To record Tor and Firefox output in file (default: tor-browser.log). |
+| `--detach` | To detach from terminal and run Tor Browser in the background. |
+| `--unregister-app` | To unregister Tor Browser as a desktop application. |
