  We present start-to-end simulations for a fully THz-driven table-top X-ray source. A dielectric-loaded metallic cavity operating at its Higher Order Mode accelerates 1 PC photo emitted electron bunch up to 430 keV kinetic energy. The output beam of the gun is injected into a dielectric-loaded waveguide where phase velocity of the traveling wave is adjusted in such a way that electrons see an accelerating field all the way along the tube resulting to an 18.5-MeV output beam which is then transported to an inverse Compton scattering (ICS) stage. The injection phase of the electrons can be tuned to introduce a negative energy chirp to the electron bunch leading to a ballistic bunch compression after the linac. In addition, a set of permanent magnet quadrupoles is designed to focus the beam at the ICS interaction point where the electron beam scatters off a 250-mJ, 0.5ps, 1-µm laser beam and generates an X-ray beam with 2.6x107 photons per shot containing photon energies 2keV< Eph <8keV in a beam with 50 mrad half opening angle. The required terahertz waves to power the gun and linac are 550-ps pulses at 300 GHz containing 5 mJ and 23 mJ energies respectively with 1 kHz repetition rate.
