<h2><a class="anchor" href="#debian">Option one: Tor on Debian lenny,
Debian sid, or Debian testing</a></h2>
<br />

<p>
If you're using Debian stable (lenny), unstable (sid), or testing
(squeeze), just run<br />
<tt>apt-get install tor tor-geoipdb</tt>
</p>

<p>
Note that this might not always give you the latest stable Tor version, but
you will receive important security fixes. To make sure that you're running
the latest stable version of Tor, see option two below.
</p>

<p>
Now Tor is installed and running. Move on to <a href="<page
docs/tor-doc-unix>#privoxy">step two</a> of the "Tor on Linux/Unix"
instructions.

<h2><a class="anchor" href="#ubuntu">Option two: Tor on Ubuntu or
Debian</a></h2>
<br />

<p>
<b>Do not use the packages in Ubuntu's universe.</b> They are unmaintained
and out of date. That means you'll be missing stability and security
fixes.
</p>

<p>
You'll need to set up our package repository before you can fetch
Tor. First, you need to figure out the name of your distribution. If
you're using Ubuntu 9.04, it's "jaunty". Ubuntu 8.10 is "intrepid",
and Ubuntu 8.04 is "hardy". If you're using Debian Etch, it's "etch", Debian
Lenny is "lenny". Then add this line to your <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt>
file:<br />
<pre>
deb     http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor &lt;DISTRIBUTION&gt; main
</pre>
where you substitute the above word (etch, lenny, sid, jaunty, intrepid,
hardy) in place of &lt;DISTRIBUTION&gt;.
</p>

<p>
Then run
<pre>
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 94C09C7F
gpg --export 94C09C7F | sudo apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install tor tor-geoipdb
</pre>
</p>

<p>
Now Tor is installed and running. Move on to <a href="<page
docs/tor-doc-unix>#privoxy">step two</a> of the "Tor on Linux/Unix"
instructions.
</p>

<a id="development"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#development">Option three: Using the
development branch of Tor on Debian or Ubuntu</a></h2>
<br />

<p>If you want to use the <a href="<page
download>#packagediff">development branch</a> of Tor instead (more
features and more bugs), you need to add a different set of lines to
your <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> file:<br />
<pre>
deb     http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor &lt;DISTRIBUTION&gt; main
deb     http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor experimental-0.2.1.x-&lt;DISTRIBUTION&gt; main
</pre>
where you substitute the name of your distro (etch, lenny, sid, jaunty,
intrepid, hardy) in place of &lt;DISTRIBUTION&gt;.
</p>

<p>
Then run
<pre>
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 94C09C7F
gpg --export 94C09C7F | sudo apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install tor tor-geoipdb
</pre>
</p>

<p>
Now Tor is installed and running. Move on to <a href="<page

instructions.

<a id="source"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#source">Building from source</a></h2>
<br />

<p>
If you want to build your own debs from source you must first add an
appropriate <tt>deb-src</tt> line to <tt>sources.list</tt>.
<pre>
# For the stable version.
deb-src http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor &lt;DISTRIBUTION&gt; main

# For the unstable version.
deb-src http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor &lt;DISTRIBUTION&gt; main
deb-src http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor experimental-0.2.1.x-&lt;DISTRIBUTION&gt; main
</pre>
You also need to install the necessary packages to build your own debs and the
packages needed to build Tor:
<pre>
apt-get install build-essential fakeroot devscripts
apt-get build-dep tor
</pre>
Then you can build Tor in ~/debian-packages:
<pre>
mkdir ~/debian-packages; cd ~/debian-packages
apt-get source tor
cd tor-*
debuild -rfakeroot -uc -us
cd ..
</pre>
Now you can install the new package:
<pre>
sudo dpkg -i tor_*.deb
</pre>
</p>

<p>
Now Tor is installed and running. Move on to <a href="<page
docs/tor-doc-unix>#privoxy">step two</a> of the "Tor on Linux/Unix"
instructions.
