Step Two: Install Polipo for Web Browsing

apt-get update

Option two: Tor on Ubuntu or Debian

Do not use the packages in Ubuntu's universe. They are unmaintained and out of date. That means you'll be missing stability and security fixes.

You'll need to set up our package repository before you can fetch Tor. First, you need to figure out the name of your distribution. If you're using Ubuntu 9.10, it's "karmic", while 9.04 is "jaunty", 8.10 is "intrepid", and 8.04 is "hardy". If you're using Debian Etch, it's "etch", and Debian Lenny is "lenny". Then add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb    http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org main

where you put the codename of your distribution (i.e. etch, lenny, sid, karmic, jaunty, intrepid, hardy or whatever it is) in place of .

Then add the gpg key used to sign the packages by running

gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 886DDD89
gpg --export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 | sudo apt-key add -

Now refresh your sources and install Tor by running

apt-get update
apt-get install tor tor-geoipdb

Now Tor is installed and running. Move on to step two of the "Tor on Linux/Unix" instructions.

The DNS name deb.torproject.org is actually a set of independent servers in a DNS round robin configuration. If you for some reason cannot access it you might try to use the name of one of its part instead. Try deb-master.torproject.org, mirror.netcologne.de or tor.mirror.youam.de.

tor è già alla versione più recente.
Il pacchetto tor-geoipdb non ha versioni disponibili, ma è nominato da un altro
pacchetto. Questo significa che il pacchetto manca, è diventato obsoleto
oppure è disponibile solo all'interno di un'altra sorgente
E: Il pacchetto tor-geoipdb non ha candidati da installare

Building from source

If you want to build your own debs from source you must first add an appropriate deb-src line to sources.list.

deb-src http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org main

deb-src http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org main
deb-src http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org experimental- main

You also need to install the necessary packages to build your own debs and the packages needed to build Tor:

apt-get install build-essential fakeroot devscripts
apt-get build-dep tor

Then you can build Tor in ~/debian-packages:

mkdir ~/debian-packages; cd ~/debian-packages
apt-get source tor
cd tor-*
debuild -rfakeroot -uc -us
cd ..

Now you can install the new package:

sudo dpkg -i tor_*.deb

Now Tor is installed and running. Move on to step two of the "Tor on Linux/Unix" instructions.
