Running Tor on MacOS
|
|
********************
|
|
|
|
Install Homebrew
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
For macOS running on ARM chips (ie. newer macs):
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: macOS Homebrew running natively on M1/Apple Silicon/ARM has partial functionality. Therefore, some additional steps are needed to setup Homebrew.
|
|
|
|
#. Open a command line editor (Terminal), and run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
softwareupdate --install-rosetta
|
|
arch -x86_64 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
|
|
|
|
For macOS Big Sur/Catalina:
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. If you do not have Homebrew installed, follow the installation instructions `here <https://brew.sh/>`_.
|
|
|
|
TLDR: Open the command line editor (Terminal) and paste the following line:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
|
|
|
|
2. You will be prompted for your system password before installation; proceed with entering your password:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: /_static/images/tor/install_homebrew.png
|
|
:width: 80%
|
|
:alt: Homebrew installation
|
|
|
|
Enter your password
|
|
|
|
3. You will be notified which directories Homebrew is going to create, hit :code:`RETURN`:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: /_static/images/tor/install_homebrew1.png
|
|
:width: 80%
|
|
:alt: Homebrew installation
|
|
|
|
Homebrew creates the directories and downloads any other files it needs e.g. “Command Line Tool for Xcode” and “Homebrew”.
|
|
|
|
Wait a few minutes while it downloads and installs what it needs.
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: Surprisingly, Homebrew uses Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data. You can deselect the option to share usage data by `opting out <https://docs.brew.sh/Analytics#opting-out>`_.
|
|
|
|
Install Tor
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: If you have the Tor Browser open, close it and quit the application.
|
|
|
|
For macOS with ARM chips
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
In the command line type:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
arch -x86_64 brew install tor
|
|
|
|
For macOS Big Sur/Catalina:
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
In the command line type:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
brew install tor
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the `Tor Project <https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-osx.html.en>`_ for more details.
|
|
|
|
Once it is finished you have the following options:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: /_static/images/tor/install_tor.png
|
|

|
|
:alt: Tor installation
|
|
|
|
Install Tor
|
|
|
|
In the command line type
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
brew services start tor
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
arch -x86_64 brew services start tor
|
|
|
|
depending on your device (as explained above). This will start Tor and ensure that it is always running, even after a restart.
