Installing Tor

Official Documentation: Tor on Ubuntu or Debian (or Trisquel)

Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

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

$DISTRIBUTION corresponds to the Ubuntu codename that matches the Trisquel version you are running.

• Trisquel 5.0 is "natty"
• Trisquel 4.5 is "maverick"
• Trisquel 4.0 is "lucid"
• Trisquel 3.5 is "karmic"

Use the following two commands to download the gpg key used to sign the Tor packages and add them to your APT key management utility

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

Use the apt-get update command to resynchronize the package index files from their sources.
