* Run "apt-get install tor" (as root).
* Make sure your clock, date, and timezone are set correctly. Install the ntp or openntpd (or similar) package to keep it that way.
* Edit /etc/tor/torrc to look like the following:
## If you control multiple relays, include then in the family
#MyFamily $keyid,$keyid,...
ORPort 9001
DirPort 9030
## The IP address or hostname for incoming connections (leave commented and Tor will guess)
#Address noname.example.com
## Set your bandwidth rate (leave commented and Tor will run without bandwidth caps)
#RelayBandwidthRate 30 MBytes
#RelayBandwidthBurst 100 MBytes
## Set the nickname of this relay
Nickname ididnteditheconfig

No.
If law enforcement becomes interested in traffic from your exit relay, it's possible that officers will seize your computer.
For that reason, it's best not to run your exit relay in your home or using your home internet connection.
Instead, consider running your exit relay in a commercial facility that is supportive of Tor.
Have a separate IP address for your exit relay, and don't route your own traffic through it.
Of course, you should avoid keeping any sensitive or personal information on the computer hosting your exit relay.
