<h2><a class="anchor" href="#rpms">Tor packages for rpm-based
linux distributions.</a></h2>
<br />

<p>Do not use the packages in the native repositories. They are
frequently out of date.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.  Assuming yum, in /etc/yum.repos.d/, create a file called
torproject.repo.  Edit this file with the following information:
<pre>[torproject]
name=Tor and Vidalia
enabled=1
autorefresh=0
baseurl=http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/rpm/DISTRIBUTION/
type=rpm-md
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/rpm/RPM-GPG-KEY-torproject.org
</pre>

If you wish to track the stable releases of Tor, you should substitute
DISTRIBUTION with one of the following: centos4, centos5, fc11, fc12,
fc13, suse</p>

<p>To track experimental releases, substitute DISTRIBUTION with one of these:
centos4-experimental, centos5-experimental, fc11-experimental,
fc12-experimental, fc13-experimental, suse-experimental</p>

<p>To install tor from your non-root user account, type "sudo yum install
tor" or use your favorite package manager.</p>

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

<p style="font-size: small">
The DNS name <code>deb.torproject.org</code> is actually a set of independent
servers in a DNS round robin configuration.  If you for some reason cannot
access it you might try to use the name of one of its part instead.  Try
<code>deb-master.torproject.org</code>,
<code>mirror.netcologne.de</code> or
<code>tor.mirror.youam.de</code>.
