Installing Tor Browser on Mac M1

Are you looking for a secure and private way to browse the internet on your Mac M1? Look no further than Tor Browser! In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to install Tor Browser on your Mac M1.

One of the biggest challenges in installing Tor Browser is ensuring that it's up-to-date. Unfortunately, in the past, updates haven't been reliably available. However, there are a couple of solutions to get around this issue.

If you're using Macports in a Terminal window, simply run the command `sudo port install tor` and you'll be good to go! If you're using Homebrew instead, you can use the command `# brew install tor`. Don't worry if you don't have either of these package managers installed - we'll get to that later.

To install Macports or Homebrew, follow the instructions on /install.php for Macports and brew.sh for Homebrew. You can choose which package manager you'd prefer to use, as there are two options available on OS X: Homebrew and Macports.

When running commands in your Terminal window, keep in mind that `sudo` asks for your user password, while `su` expects the root password of your system. If you need to open a root terminal, you can do so using one of the following options: `sudo su`, `sudo -i`, or `su -i`.

One thing to note is that Tor requires admin access in order to install successfully. Below are all the commands that need to be run as the root user (like `apt` and `dpkg`) preceded with `#`, while commands that can be run as a regular user are denoted by `$`.

In conclusion, installing Tor Browser on your Mac M1 is a straightforward process. By following these steps and using either Homebrew or Macports to install Tor, you'll have a secure and private way to browse the internet in no time!
