Okay, I have generated a VM using VirtualBox of Ubuntu version 16. I've had to restart the build process a couple of times, since the hard drive was 10GB, then 20GB. Now I am using a 50GB box, so it may work this time. Should we create the branch using the -b command? ('git checkout -b tbb-8.0a9-build3'?) Otherwise, it complains about being headless.

Thank you, I have created the ticket as #26920. https://trac. torproject.org/ projects/tor/ticket/26920#ticket. Having downloaded the git project, it seems that this work cannot be performed on a Mac, since it doesn't run 'runc'. Is that right?
Right, the README says "To build Tor Browser, you need a Linux distribution that has support for runc (such as Debian jessie, Ubuntu 16.04, Fedora 20, etc ...)."
The tag I suggested, tbb-8.0a9-build3, is the tag of the most recent alpha release (I think). I haven't tried building it myself--if it doesn't work, you may just need to try a different tag. One of the Tor Browser devs could suggest an alternative if it doesn't work on the first try.
