- <h3>Name clash warning</h3> - - <p>There is identically named 'tor' package in the EPEL and Fedora - repositories. Due to this unfortunate name clash, the packages might - "update over one another", depending on patchversion. Solution is to use - <tt>Exclude=tor</tt> line in the relevant <tt>/etc/yum.repos.d/</tt> - file. - </p> - - <p>E.g. you may exclude EPEL's Tor package by putting the mentioned exclude - line under [epel] section in <tt>/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo</tt>. - For Fedora, you usually need that exclude in fedora.repo and - fedora-updates.repo file. - </p> - - <h3>Package installation and running</h3> - - <p> - Once you have the repo file, install Tor using (yum will ask about the - key's fingerprint the first time): - </p> -<pre>yum install tor</pre> - - <p> - Start Tor using: - </p> -<pre>service tor start</pre> - - <p> - Now Tor is installed and running.
