Tor itself isn’t Tor Browser/TBB. You can use the Tor service to proxy applications through.
For example, I can simply run a program on terminal through torsocks, like
torsocks git clone https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95, ortorsocks wget http://vww6ybal4bd7szmgncyruucpgfkqahzddi37ktceo3ah7ngmcopnpyyd.onion/favicon.icoI haven’t checked how but you can probably configure a program or network that allows you to pick a proxy to go through the Tor network too.
Edit: If a virtual machine is appropriate (if you want a whole leak-proof Tor-only environment for browsing, email, software, etc. without rebooting), consider running https://www.whonix.org/ . You do need to launch the Workspace and Gateway OSs which will take a few seconds (a shortcut to a shell script can launch both at once) but if you are using Tor for security purposes then it might be more useful in your threat model.
