A bash script to easily install the torctl tool on Linux Mint.
It should work on other Debian/Ubuntu distributions, but I have not tested.
This script will install tor and git via apt, if you do not have them already.
-
Clone the script to your desired location. (or download it manually)
If you download it manually instead of using git, know that the script will install git for you.
git clone https://github.com/a3oYzmN4fGhm7rA4ob/linuxmint-torctl-installer
- Run the script (as superuser) with bash, in the directory where it's located.
The script will automatically move to the correct directories while running, so it does not matter where you run it from in most cases.
sudo bash install_torctl.sh
Even if you don't have git installed, you can run this single command that will do everything at once. You may need to run this in a privliged shell.
sudo apt install git && git clone https://github.com/a3oYzmN4fGhm7rA4ob/linuxmint-torctl-installer && cd linuxmint-torctl-installer && sudo bash install_torctl.sh && cd ..
