I would like to install the Tor, but I'm having some problems. I know that someone will say "This question is a exactly duplication of How to install tor?", but it's not, because the another question can not be applied to Ubuntu 12.10 as the deb command is not available anymore.

I did a research and even at the Tor's Official Website the available resource can not be applied to Ubuntu 12.10.

I tried to use the deb command (as the above question says: deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org <DISTRIBUTION> main) and the Terminal says deb: command not found and when I try to install it says E: Unable to locate package deb.

I've also tried to use the ppa: ubun-tor, but it's not compatible with Quantal Quetzal, because it's too old.

I've also tried to use sudo apt-get install tor, but browser icon don't shows up after installation and if you try to use the command tor in the Terminal I get the following error message:

Thanks in advance.
