Hopefully you'll be able to get it running using Julian's advice. If 
everything else fails, there's always Flatpak on Guix OS. Tor Browser 
Launcher is on Flathub.

(Please do note that this is *not* an endorsement. I haven't done much 
research on this launcher's trustworthiness, since I don't feel my use 
cases are that sensitive privacy-wise (I don't enjoy corporations 
tracking me across the Web is all). Do your research before trusting it 
with sensitive information.)

Best Regards,
