Hi,

sure, with pleasure. But I have to say I am not a professional 
programmer. There are surely better ways to do this, but it works for me.
Before you can use it you have to make it executable with this command:

chmod +x build_tor_from_source.sh

And make sure to read the info in the script.

After that you are ready to roll.


regards

Patrice


## build_tor_from_source.sh
########################################################################

#######################################################
## This script is for a automatic installation of tor out of the sources.


## What it will do:
#
# 1. It downloads the newest tarball, compiles and installs it.
# 2. It copies the data dir (with the keys) and the torrc.
# 3. It removes all installations files.
# 4. It starts tor as the current user
# 5. It adds tor as crontab (@bootup) of current user
# 6. changes the permissions of the tor logs, tor folder and torrc for 
the current user
# 6. At the end it shows the logs to check the tor startup process


## What are the requirements for this installation script
#
# - the torrc must be in the same folder as this script
# - check the paths used in this script if they fit for your system (the 
default paths are for Pi OS)
# - this script must be in a location where it has write permisssions 
(for example home folder of current user)


## What this script can't do
#
# Tor is not compiled wioth systemd support, so this won't work until 
you switch it on.
