<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>
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>
<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and out of date.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".
Then add these lines to your <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> file:<br />
<pre>
deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor <DISTRIBUTION> main
deb-src http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor <DISTRIBUTION> main
