Tor: Packages and source

You can get the latest release from the download directory. It should run on Linux, BSD, OS X, Win32, Solaris, and more.

• Latest experimental: 0.0.9rc7 (sig)
• Latest stable: 0.0.8.1 (sig)
• Win32 installer (experimental): 0.0.9rc7 (sig) Be sure to read the instructions -- you'll probably need privoxy)

Instructions for installing and configuring Tor are here.

See the developers page for instructions on fetching Tor CVS.

Old releases are here.

Windows packages:

• Our new Win32 installer (listed above) is probably your best bet.
• Outside link: Aphex's contributed Tor zip file for Win32 includes Tor, Openssl, Privoxy, SocksCap.
• Outside link: Hideki Saito's contributed tor setup exe might work for you, especially if you speak Japanese.

Red Hat packages are not available yet. We have a spec file but we're not sure if it's any good. Please help.

Debian packages have been uploaded to unstable, so you can just apt-get install tor if you are running sid.
For stable (woody) or testing add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor stable main
deb-src http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor stable main

and then run apt-get update; apt-get install tor. Packages for architectures other than i386 can be added on demand.

FreeBSD: portinstall -s security/tor

Other packages are available for Gentoo Linux, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. If somebody sends me details for these I'll put them here.
