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. Here's
a quick mapping:
<ul>
<li> Ubuntu 11.04 is "natty"</li>
<li> Ubuntu 10.10 or Trisquel 4.5 is "maverick"</li>
<li> Ubuntu 10.04 or Trisquel 4.0 is "lucid"</li>
<li> Ubuntu 9.10 or Trisquel 3.5 is "karmic"</li>
<li> Ubuntu 9.04 is "jaunty"</li>
<li> Ubuntu 8.10 is "intrepid"</li>
<li> Ubuntu 8.04 is "hardy"</li>
<li> Debian Etch is "etch"</li>
<li> Debian Lenny is "lenny"</li>
</ul>
Then add this line to your
<tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt>
file:<br />
<pre>
deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org <DISTRIBUTION> main
