Some years ago, I built Tor browser on a Pi2. Maybe things have changed, but here's what I did: The Tor Project does not distribute Tor Browser for Raspbian wheezy, and the Debian/Ubuntu version doesn't work. And so you will need to build from source. That's actually (truly!) not very hard, because the instructions at https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorBrowser/Hacking are clear, and work. First install required packages. $ sudo apt-get install --no-install-suggests --no-install-recommends zip unzip libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev yasm libasound2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libxt-dev mesa-common-dev autoconf autoconf2.13 libtool hardening-wrapper libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev pkg-config g++ libpulse-dev Then clone the Tor Browser source. $ git clone https://git.torproject.org/tor-browser.git Don't worry about the "can't checkout" error, because git branch -a handles that. $ cd tor-browser $ git branch -a $ git checkout remotes/origin/tor-browser-31.5.0esr-4.5-1 Generate the configure scripts. $ make $CONFIGURE_ARGS -f client.mk configure CONFIGURE_ARGS="--with-tor-browser-version=4.5a4 --enable-update-channel=alpha" Disable Tor Browser update, because none is available. nano /home/pi/tor-browser/.mozconfig ... #ac_add_options --enable-tor-browser-update ... Compile. It should take 6-7 hours at 100% CPU. I recommend cooling the Pi 2 with a small fan, to prevent overheating and self-protective shutdown. $ make $MAKEOPTS -f client.mk build Now make Tor Browser (Firefox). $ make -C obj-* package INNER_MAKE_PACKAGE=true It will be at /home/pi/tor-browser/obj-armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/dist/firefox. Download tor-browser-linux32-4.5a4_en-US.tar.xz and extract in /home/pi/. $ mv /home/pi/tor-browser-linux32-4.5a4_en-US.tar.xz /home/pi/ $ tar xvfJ tor-browser-linux32-4.5a4_en-US.tar.xz $ cp -a /home/pi/tor-browser/obj-armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/dist/firefox/* /home/pi/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/ $ /home/pi/tor-browser_en-US/start-tor-browser -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
