Running Tor on MacOS
|
|
********************
|
|
|
|
First, you need to install the Tor proxy service to your system. This will require opening your Terminal.
|
|
|
|
To open your terminal, hold the command key ⌘ + spacebar. `Spotlight Search` will appear. Start typing "terminal" and select the program called `Terminal`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Paste in the following commands and hit <Enter>.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
which brew || /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
|
|
brew install tor
|
|
brew services start tor
|
|
|
|
When this completes, you should see something like:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
==> Successfully started `tor` (label: homebrew.mxcl.tor)
|
|
|
|
If you notice issues connecting to Tor websites, try restarting the Tor service. Open the terminal and run:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
brew services restart tor
|
|
|
|
After running this command, you should see something like:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
Stopping `tor`... (might take a while)
|
|
==> Successfully stopped `tor` (label: homebrew.mxcl.tor)
|
|
==> Successfully started `tor` (label: homebrew.mxcl.tor)
|
|
|
|
That's it! Your Mac is now setup to natively use Tor. |
