It'd be great to have a step-by-step installation process in a README.

I ran what I thought was the appropriate included shell script, but when I launched Cwtch for the first time it couldn't connect -- it seemed to have trouble finding the included version of tor.

I eventually opted to just install tor via sudo apt install tor. On re-launch, Cwtch connected no problem. But I think that means it's not using the included version of tor? Which sounds preferable.

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.

thanks!

#95

Should be remedying this by installing the tor binary that is bundled to the appropriate lib/cwtch dir and having hte app be aware of that location and try it :)
