TLDR: how to setup the tor repo in ubuntu 24.04.

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.sources
or
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.sources

## COPY AND PASTE ##
## Change "Architectures:" as needed ##
\\\\\\\\\\\\NOT THIS PART\\\\\\\\

Architectures: amd64
URIs: https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org
Suites: noble
Components: main
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/deb.torproject.org-keyring.gpg

\\\\END OF COPY PASTE (USE CTRL + o to save file if new to nano)\\\

Use the next commands to log into root user to add gpg to keychain.

sudo -i
wget -qO- https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89.asc | gpg --dearmor | tee /usr/share/keyrings/deb.torproject.org-keyring.gpg >/dev/null

deb822 sources management
