Why does Tor unexpectedly exit every time I open it?
Every time I try to run tor it unexpectedly exits and I get this in my terminal:

The Tor Browser should probably be installed in your home folder and owned by you, but instead it is installed globally and owned by root. How did you install it, and exactly what command or commands are running to attempt to launch it?

tells us what we need to know. The directory that the file is trying to write to is owned by root, and your privileges aren't sufficient. If you installed tor through the apt repository, that would probably be why.
Download the latest tor tarball from https://www.torproject.org/ and extract the contents, from there go into a terminal window, navigate to the directory you extracted and type chmod +x start-tor-browser.sh (may not be the exact file name, but I digress).
Then type ./start-tor-browser.sh to start the browser. It should work from there.
