- An easy way to get started is with Vidalia, a graphical interface for |
|
| 32 |
- Tor. Vidalia is not included in the standard Tor Browser Bundle, although it |

+ The best approach for most users is to <a href="<page |
|
| 32 |
+ docs/tor-relay-debian>">run your relay on Debian or Ubuntu</a> using |
|
| 33 |
+ the system Tor package &mdash the deb takes care of running Tor as a |
|
| 34 |
+ separate user, making sure it has enough file descriptors available, |
|
| 35 |
+ starting it at boot, and so on. Tor relays also run nicely on other |
|
| 36 |
+ Linux flavors, and on FreeBSD and NetBSD for those who are comfortable |
|
| 37 |
+ with those operating systems. |

- Vidalia is also available as a standalone package from <a |
|
| 45 |
- href="https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/vidalia-standalone-bundles/">this |
|
| 46 |
- directory</a>. To use the Vidalia standalone, you will first need to <a |
|
| 47 |
- href="<page projects/torbrowser>">download the Tor Browser Bundle</a> |
|
| 48 |
- or the <a href="<page download/download>">Tor Expert Bundle</a>. |
|
| 49 |
- Unpack the Vidalia package into your Tor Browser folder. This will allow |
|
| 50 |
- Vidalia to control and configure the Tor Browser Bundle's Tor client. If |
|
| 51 |
- you use the Expert Bundle, which contains Tor only and no browser, you'll |
|
| 52 |
- need to inform Vidalia of your Tor's location. |
|
| 47 |
+ <p>Alas, since Vidalia (a graphical interface for Tor) is <a |
|
| 48 |
+ href="<page docs/faq>#WhereDidVidaliaGo">no longer included</a> |
|
| 49 |
+ in the standard Tor Browser Bundle, there are currently no |
|
| 50 |
+ easy relay packages for OS X users. One option is to run |
|
| 51 |
+ Debian in a VM; another option is to install TBB and then a |
|
| 52 |
+ standalone Vidalia bundle on top of it; and a third option is to <a |
|
| 53 |
+ href="https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2014-June/004650.html">use |
|
| 54 |
