Tor is shipped in the alpha release (presumably because Cwtch requires a version newer than most Linux distros currently provide). ./ui.sh does not run the provided tor, instead it fails without specifying if tor was not found or too old.

ui/main.go [ERR ] Could not start Tor: Could not connect to or start Tor that met requirments (min Tor version 0.3.5.x)

I was able to work around this by uninstalling my distro's tor package and copying the provided binary to /usr/bin/.

Same problem here I think. Trying to install and run the binary version for linux, I ran into some problems

It doesn't find the tor in the installation directory launching ui.sh:

2019/02/14 18:33:28 connectivity/torProvider.go [INFO] tor version:
2019/02/14 18:33:28 connectivity/torProvider.go [INFO] tor version:
2019/02/14 18:33:28 ui/main.go [ERR ] Could not start Tor: Could not connect to or start Tor that met requirments (min Tor version 0.3.5.x)

After adding the installation directory to PATH, there's a collision between a directory tor that it's trying to create and the shipped tor executable:

2019/02/14 18:36:16 ui/main.go [ERR ] Could not start Tor: Unable to create data dir: mkdir tor: not a directory

I could get it to run after moving tor executable to another directory and adding that to PATH.
