<p>Even though the Tor Browser comes with a regular Tor, and you could use the graphical interface to configure Tor as a relay and bridge easily, it will only run as long as you keep the Tor Browser open. The following instructions will set up Tor without graphical interface or a browser. Many people prefer this over TBB when they host hidden services or relay traffic for other Tor users.

<p>
The advanced Tor without any graphical user interface can be installed using <a href="http://brew.sh">the Homebrew package manager</a>. It is most suitable if you want to use Tor as a SOCKS proxy for applications other than web browsing, or run a Tor relay/bridge to help other Tor users. If you use the command-line Tor, you might be interested in <a href="<page projects/arm>">arm</a>, a command-line Tor monitor.
Macports is a package manager for Mac OS X which provides a Tor package,
along a lot of other stuff. Follow the instructions on <a
href="https://www.macports.org/install.php">its Website</a> to install.
</p>
<p>If you don't have Homebrew installed, open a terminal window and run:</p>
<pre>ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"</pre>

<p>In a Terminal window, run:</p>
<pre>brew install tor</pre>
<pre>sudo port install tor</pre>
<p>You will find the Tor configuration file at <tt>/usr/local/etc/tor/torrc</tt>.</p>

<h2><a class="anchor" href="#verify">Step Three: Verify your download</a></h2>
<p>As with any application, you should make sure it came unmodified from the orginal source. Unfortunately, Homebrew does not come with integrated verification for downloads, and anyone could submit a modified Tor! Currently, we don't have good instructions on how to verify the Tor download on Mac OSX. If you think you do, please <a href="<page about/contact>">let us know</a>!</p>
<p>You will find a sample Tor configuration file at
<tt>/opt/local/etc/tor/torrc.sample</tt>. Remove the .sample extension to
make it effective.</p>

If you want to use Tor for anonymous web browsing, please use the <a href="<page projects/torbrowser>">Tor Browser</a>. It comes with readily configured Tor and a browser patched for better anonymity. To use SOCKS directly (for instant messaging, Jabber, IRC, etc),
you can point your application directly at Tor (localhost
port 9050), but see <a href="<wikifaq>#SOCKSAndDNS">this FAQ
entry</a> for why this may be dangerous. For applications
that support neither SOCKS nor HTTP, take a look at <a
href="http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/">socat</a>.</p>

<p>If you have a personal firewall that limits your computer's
ability to connect to itself, be sure to allow connections from
your local applications to local port 9050. If your
firewall blocks outgoing connections, punch a hole so it can
connect to at least TCP ports 80 and 443, and then see <a
href="<wikifaq>#FirewalledClient">this FAQ entry</a>.
