What is the Tor Browser?

The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications
around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all
around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet
connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites
you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you
access sites which are blocked.
The Tor Browser lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or
Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB

flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect

your anonymity, and is self-contained (portable).

Language
All

Mac OS X Instructions
Download the file above, save it somewhere, then click on it. This
opens the .dmg file. (On recent versions of OS X, you might get a
warning that it's from an "unidentified developer" you can get
around this complaint by control-clicking and selecting "open".) Drag
the included file into your Applications folder and you will have a Tor
Browser application in your chosen language that you can pin on your
Dock.

Linux Instructions
Download the architecture-appropriate file above, save it somewhere,
then run one of the following two commands to extract the package
archive:
tar -xvJf tor-browser-linux32-5.5.4_LANG.tar.xz

or (for the 64-bit version):

tar -xvJf tor-browser-linux64-5.5.4_LANG.tar.xz

(where LANG is the language listed in the filename).

Once that's done, switch to the Tor browser directory by running:
cd tor-browser_LANG

(where LANG is the language listed in the filename).

To run Tor Browser, click either on the Tor Browser or the Tor Browser
Setup icon or execute the start-tor-browser.desktop file in a
terminal:
./start-tor-browser.desktop

This will launch Tor Launcher and once that connects to Tor, it will
launch Firefox. Do not unpack or run TBB as root.

Windows Instructions
Download the file above, and save it somewhere, then double click on
it. (1) Click "Run" then choose the installer's language and click OK (2).
Make sure you have at least 80MB of free disk space in the location
you select. If you want to leave the bundle on the computer, saving it

to the Desktop is a good choice. If you want to move it to a different

computer or limit the traces you leave behind, save it to a USB disk.
Click Install (3) Wait until the installer finishes. This may take a few
minutes to complete.

Once the installation is complete, click Finish to launch Tor Browser's

wizard.
Once you see Tor Browser's wizard click Connect
Alternatively, you can launch Tor Browser by going to the folder Tor
Browser which can be found at the location you saved the bundle at

(Default: Desktop) and double click on the Start Tor

Browser application.

Once Tor is ready, Tor Browser will automatically be opened. Only web
pages visited through Tor Browser will be sent via Tor. Other web
browsers such as Internet Explorer are not affected.
Once you are finished browsing, close any open Tor Browser windows
by clicking on the
(6). For privacy reasons, the list of web pages you
visited and any cookies will be deleted.

To use the Tor Browser again, double click on the "Start Tor Browser"
application.
Remember that Tor anonymizes the origin of your traffic, and it
encrypts everything inside the Tor network, but it can't encrypt your
traffic between the Tor network and its final destination. If you are
communicating sensitive information, you should use as much care as
you would on the normal scary Internet use HTTPS or other end-toend encryption and authentication.

More information
What is Tor and why do I need it?
To learn more about Tor, visit the Tor Project website.
What is in the Tor Browser?
It contains Tor, a modified Firefox ESR, Torbutton, TorLauncher,
NoScript, and HTTPS-Everywhere. Read the design document,
the ChangeLog for the branch maint-5.5, and the ChangeLog for the
alpha branch.
How can I make my own bundle?
We use Gitian to ensure that byte-for-byte reproducible packages
can be built from our source repository by anyone. To rebuild the
bundle, check out the Tor Browser builder repository and see
the README.build for instructions. You may also find the Tor Browser
Hacking intro document useful for learning about the build system
and our development processes.
Where else can I get Tor Browser?
In some countries the Tor Project website is blocked or censored and
it is not possible to download Tor directly. The Tor Project also hosts a
mirror of Tor Browser Bundle on Github.
The GetTor service can also be used to download Tor Browser when
the Project website and mirrors are blocked.
