Tor: Packages and source
Tor is distributed as Free Software under the 3-clause BSD license.
You can get the latest release from the download directory. It should run on Linux, BSD, OS X, Win32, Solaris, and more.

General instructions for installing and configuring Tor are here.
See the developers page for instructions on fetching Tor from 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, and we plan to start making rpms available soon.
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
OpenBSD: cd /usr/ports/net/tor && make && make install
Other packages are available for Gentoo Linux and NetBSD. If somebody sends details for these to the Tor developers, we'll put them here.
