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.
