<h2><a class="anchor" href="#installing">Step One: Download and Install Tor</a></h2>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The latest release of Tor can be found on the <a
|
|
href="<page download/download>">download</a> page. We have packages for Debian,
|
|
Red Hat, Gentoo, etc there too. If you're
|
|
using Ubuntu, don't use the default packages: use <a
|
|
href="<page docs/debian>#ubuntu">our deb repository</a> instead.
|
|
Similarly, CentOS / Fedora users should use <a href="<page
|
|
docs/rpms>">our rpm repository</a> instead.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you're building from source, first install <a
|
|
href="http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/">libevent</a>, and
|
|
make sure you have openssl and zlib (including the -devel packages if
|
|
applicable). Then run:<br>
|
|
<tt>tar xzf tor-<version-stable>.tar.gz; cd tor-<version-stable></tt><br>
|
|
<tt>./configure && make</tt><br>
|
|
Now you can run tor as <tt>src/or/tor</tt>, or you can run <tt>make install</tt>
|
|
(as root if necessary) to install it into /usr/local/, and then you can
|
|
start it just by running <tt>tor</tt>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Tor comes configured as a client by default. It uses a built-in
|
|
default configuration file, and most people won't need to change any of
|
|
the settings. Tor is now installed.

<h2><a class="anchor" href="#using">Step Two: Configure your applications to use Tor</a></h2>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you want to use Tor for anonymous web browsing, please use <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, or port 9150 for Tor Browser), but see <a href="<page docs/faq>#TBBSocksPort">this FAQ
|
|
entry</a> for why this may be dangerous. For applications
|
|
that support neither SOCKS nor HTTP, take a look at <a href="https://code.google.com/p/torsocks/">torsocks</a>
|
|
or <a href="http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/">socat</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For information on how to Torify other applications, check out the
|
|
<a href="<wiki>doc/TorifyHOWTO">Torify HOWTO</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you have a personal firewall that limits your computer's ability
|
|
to connect to itself (this includes something like SELinux on Fedora
|
|
Core 4), be sure to allow connections from your local applications to
|
|
Tor (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>.
|
|
If your SELinux config is not allowing tor to run
|
|
correctly, create a file named booleans.local in the directory
|
|
/etc/selinux/targeted. Edit this file in your favorite text editor
|
|
and insert "allow_ypbind=1". Restart your machine for this change
|
|
to take effect.
|

|

|
|
FAQ entry</a> for hints.</p>
