Comment (by TormanToo):

 First of all, that page does not say it is only for sysadmins.  I would
 think that Tor people would know that, since they promote Tor for
 everyone's use.  This is the only place the average user can find to tell
 them how to install it.  However, it is not clear, as you can see.  So
 leaving out sudo was a bonehead mistake.

 Computers are all about details and being perfect in what is entered.  Any
 mistake and the whole process is garbage.

 Further, you have got to explain things to the user and make sure that the
 correct steps work.  Regardless of who is doing it, this was specifically
 for the user of Ubuntu and its various flavors, and so it should have been
 tested only on that sort of platform.  There can be on generalities
 allowed in instructions.

 As you can see, I am being very patient.  Certainly this is clearly
 indicated by my very detailed report to you.  But of course, I'm glad to
 help the FOSS industry that I love.

 Once you get the instructions written out correctly, I will be glad to
 test them again for you.
