ARM64 Tor Browser

Tor Browser Downloader by Whonix ™ has been improved to support downloading Tor Browser ARM64 from sourceforge.net by Heikki Lindholm.

The goal is to make Tor Browser Downloader by Whonix ™ work out of the box on arm64 without special command line options / environment variables required. I guess that already works but I cannot test (due to lack of hardware and or better said due to infeasibility of running unlimited architectures/virtualizers at the same time). Can be used as usual as per documentation, for example:

update-torbrowser

If architecture auto detection fails, that can surely be fixed. Please report. Workaround if that was to happen:

ARCH=arm64 update-torbrowser

In that case please run in debug mode and share the output here.

bash -x update-torbrowser

In case of download / verification failures, please also run in debug mode.

ARCH=arm64 bash -x update-torbrowser

Obviously running Tor Browser ARM64 requires running on the ARM64 architecture. However, testing download/verification of ARM64 Tor Browser downloads can be done on any platform (download TorBrowser would work but starting Tor Browser would fail). To simulate:

ARCH=arm64 update-torbrowser
