/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
  1. Install Tor by running:
brew update && brew install tor

Linux

  1. Open Terminal and install Tor:
sudo apt-get install tor

Windows

  1. Download Tor Windows Expert Bundle from here.
  2. Unzip the file and extract the Tor folder inside to your system (e.g. to “C:\\”)
  3. Open CMD.exe as administrator, navigate to the Tor folder and run:
tor.exe –-service install
