Tor Project For Mac

These are advanced installation instructions for running Tor in a command line. The recommended way to use Tor is to simply download the Tor Browser and you are done.

Even though Tor Browser comes with a regular Tor, it will only run as long as you keep Tor Browser open. The following instructions will set up Tor without graphical interface or a browser. Many people prefer this over TBB when they host onion services or relay traffic for other Tor users.

Step One: Install a package manager


There are two package manager on OS X: Homebrew and Macports. You can use the package manager of your choice.

Step Three: Configure your application to use Tor
