We have installers for Windows and Mac OS X 10.3 or later. For help -with installing, - configuring, and using Tor on these operating systems, consult the - Windows instructions or the - Mac OS X instructions. -
- -You can get the latest releases here.
+We have installers for Windows, Mac OS X 10.3, and Red Hat. We +have contributed packages for Debian, Gentoo, and *BSD. See the download page for pointers and details.
If you got Tor from a tarball, unpack it: tar xzf tor-0.0.9.9.tar.gz; cd tor-0.0.9.9. Run ./configure, then make, and then make install (as root if necessary). Then you can launch tor from the command-line by running tor. -Otherwise, if you got it prepackaged (e.g. in the Debian package or Gentoo -package), these steps are already done for you, and you may -even already have Tor started in the background (logging to -/var/log/something).
- -For newer releases: To build Tor version 0.1.0.1-rc or later from -source, you will need Niels Provos's libevent library; you can get -the source for the latest version -here.
+Otherwise, if you got it prepackaged, these steps are already done +for you, and you may even already have Tor started in the background +(logging to /var/log/something).In any case, see the next section for what to do with it now that you've got it running.
