- <p>Even though the Tor Browser comes with a regular Tor, and you could use the graphical interface to configure Tor as a relay and bridge easily, it will only run as long as you keep the Tor Browser open. The following instructions will set up Tor without graphical interface or a browser. Many people prefer this over TBB when they host hidden services or relay traffic for other Tor users.

- The advanced Tor without any graphical user interface can be installed using <a href="http://brew.sh">the Homebrew package manager</a>. It is most suitable if you want to use Tor as a SOCKS proxy for applications other than web browsing, or run a Tor relay/bridge to help other Tor users. If you use the command-line Tor, you might be interested in <a href="<page projects/arm>">arm</a>, a command-line Tor monitor.
+ Macports is a package manager for Mac OS X which provides a Tor package,
+ along a lot of other stuff. Follow the instructions on <a
+ href="https://www.macports.org/install.php">its Website</a> to install.

- <p>As with any application, you should make sure it came unmodified from the orginal source. Unfortunately, Homebrew does not come with integrated verification for downloads, and anyone could submit a modified Tor! Currently, we don't have good instructions on how to verify the Tor download on Mac OSX. If you think you do, please <a href="<page about/contact>">let us know</a>!</p>

- If you want to use Tor for anonymous web browsing, please use the <a href="<page projects/torbrowser>">Tor Browser</a>. It comes with readily configured Tor and a browser patched for better anonymity. To use SOCKS directly (for instant messaging, Jabber, IRC, etc),
- you can point your application directly at Tor (localhost
- port 9050), but see <a href="<wikifaq>#SOCKSAndDNS">this FAQ
