How to install TOR in Ubuntu.

I always forgot on how to install TOR.It nothing new.Just for my library archive.

Do not use the packages in Ubuntu's universe. They are unmaintained and out of date. That means you'll be missing stability and security fixes.

You'll need to set up our package repository before you can fetch Tor. First, you need to figure out the name of your distribution. Here's a quick mapping:

Ubuntu 11.04 is "natty"
Ubuntu 10.10 or Trisquel 4.5 is "maverick"
Ubuntu 10.04 or Trisquel 4.0 is "lucid"
Ubuntu 9.10 or Trisquel 3.5 is "karmic"
Ubuntu 9.04 is "jaunty"
Ubuntu 8.10 is "intrepid"
Ubuntu 8.04 is "hardy"
Debian Etch is "etch"
Debian Lenny is "lenny"

Then add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org main

where you substitute the above word (etch, lenny, sid, karmic, jaunty, intrepid, hardy) in place of .

Then add the gpg key used to sign the packages by running the following commands at your command prompt:

gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 886DDD89
gpg --export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 | sudo apt-key add -

Now refresh your sources and install Vidalia by running the following commands at your command prompt:

apt-get update
apt-get install vidalia deb.torproject.org-keyring


*Install TOR in Ubuntu Precise*

   - Just add in apt source list.

deb     http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org experimental-precise main
