<h2><a class="anchor" href="#polipo">Step Two: Install Polipo for Web Browsing</a></h2>
<br>
<p>After installing Tor, you need to configure your applications to use it.
</p>
<p>
The first step is to set up web browsing. Start by installing <a
href="http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/">Polipo</a> from
your favorite repository. Polipo is a caching web proxy that does http
pipelining well, so it's well-suited for Tor's latencies. Make sure
to get at least Polipo 1.0.4, since earlier versions lack the SOCKS support
required to use Polipo with Tor. You should uninstall privoxy at this
point (e.g. apt-get remove privoxy or yum remove privoxy), so they don't
conflict.
</p>
<p>Once you've installed Polipo (either from package or from
source), <b>you will need to configure Polipo to use Tor</b>. Grab our <a
href="<tbbrepo>/build-scripts/config/polipo.conf">Polipo
configuration for Tor</a> and put it in place of your current polipo
config file (e.g. /etc/polipo/config or ~/.polipo).
You'll need to restart Polipo for the changes to take effect. For
example:<br>
<tt>/etc/init.d/polipo restart</tt>
</p>
<p>If you prefer, you can instead use Privoxy with <a
href="<wiki>doc/PrivoxyConfig">this
sample Privoxy configuration</a>. But since the config files both use
port 8118, you shouldn't run both Polipo and Privoxy at the same time.</p>
