all right, everybody, welcome to section four of the tor course.
it's finally time for us to install and use the tor browser.
in this video, we're going to be installing it on windows, specifically windows eleven.
windows ten and windows eleven are still very similar for this install process, so you shouldn't have too many issues there.
if you have any questions about any of this, of course, let me know.
otherwise, we'll hop on over to our windows and we will take a look.
so over here on windows, we will navigate to the torproject dot org.
again, this is windows eleven and this is just a virtual machine, so i haven't set anything up yet.
so this will be a fresh install.
if you go to the torproject dot org, when you get there, you do get to a home page and there's a button for download the tor browser.
if you click on that, it will take you to a page with all the downloads available.
and you can see here windows, mac, linux, and android.
we'll go ahead and click the windows one, and we'll let that download start.
that should just take a moment, but we'll go ahead and open up our files.
once the download is complete, we can go ahead and run the installer.
now you will need to make sure you have correct permissions on your computer to install this.
and just remember if you're using something like tails, it comes pre- installed with tor and pre- configured, so you actually don't even need to do this step.
but in another video, we do show you the install process on linux if you have any questions there.
so we'll let this boot up really quickly to see if we can get the install going.
and the 1st option, of course, is selecting a language.
we'll pick english.
it asks you where do you want to put it.
we'll just leave it at the default path, and it will install it.
pretty straightforward install process, not too complicated, but it's important we make this video just in case anyone has any questions.
we will go ahead and let this install and then we will run it just to validate it worked and go from there.
and at the end of the install, it'll say, do you want to run the tor browser?
we'll go ahead and leave that checked and we'll click finish.
and then assuming everything works, you will see the tor browser load up with its custom icon down here and an option to connect to tor or configure.
we'll go over all of this in the next video.
so if you have no interest in installing on mac or linux or android or ios, go ahead and skip all of those videos after this and go straight to the 1st time running tor.
that's the next video we'll do where we talk about this screen, how to connect and kind of the options you'll see on the screen with tor.
if you have any other questions, let me know.
otherwise, we'll see you in the next one.
