Windows installer: 0.1.0.10 (sig), 0.1.1.1-alpha (sig). Be sure to read the Win32-specific instructions.

Latest source tarballs: 0.1.0.10 (sig), 0.1.1.1-alpha (sig). You will need libevent. If you are brave enough to try building from source on Windows, you'll need libevent 1.0c or later.

General instructions for installing and configuring Tor are here. This FAQ entry explains how to verify package signatures.

See the developers page for instructions on fetching Tor from CVS.

Old releases are here.

Debian packages have been uploaded to the set of official unstable (sid) and testing (etch) Debian packages. If you are running stable (sarge) or oldstable (woody), you must first add these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:

for sarge (stable):

deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor sarge main deb-src http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor sarge main
or for woody (oldstable):

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

To install the packages, issue the following commands:

$ apt-get update $ apt-get install tor

Packages for the development version of Tor are available as well. To install these, add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:

For sid use

deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor experimental main deb-src http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor experimental main
or for sarge (stable) there is

deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor experimental-sarge main deb-src http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor experimental-sarge main
and in case you still run woody (oldstable) add those two lines:

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

Then issue the following commands:

$ apt-get update $ apt-get install -t experimental tor

or just

$ apt-get update $ apt-get install tor

depending on which of those lines you added.

Packages for architectures other than i386 can be built from the sources above quite easily. Pester weasel if he hasn't documented it yet.

A guide to chrooting is available in the Wiki.

FreeBSD: portinstall -s security/tor

OpenBSD: cd /usr/ports/net/tor && make && make install (guide to chrooting)

NetBSD: cd /usr/pkgsrc/net/tor && make install

Gentoo: emerge tor (guide)

Other packages for other platforms are rumored to exist. If somebody sends details, we'll put links here.

Mirrors

If you are running a mirror please email tor-webmaster@freehaven.net and we'll add it to the list.
