Installing Vidalia on Linux/BSD

1. FreeBSD
2. Gentoo
3. Red Hat

We're still working on creating packages for some of the common Linux distributions. To see how you can help, check out this page.

In the meantime, you can follow the instructions for installing Vidalia from source, if we don't have a package for your distro.

FreeBSD

Some nice folks have been maintaining a FreeBSD port for Vidalia. To install the port, simply run:

cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/vidalia/ && make install clean

To add the package, you can run:

pkg_add -r vidalia

Gentoo

Vidalia is available in the official portage. You can easily install it by entering the following commands at the command prompt:

echo "net-misc/vidalia ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge -av vidalia

Note: Replace the ~x86 with your ~$ARCH if you are not on x86. As of this writing the ebuild was keyworded ~amd64 ~ppc ~sparc ~x86.

Red Hat

1. Download the latest Vidalia rpm from our download page. For example, vidalia-0.0.8-3.i386.rpm.
2. If you do not have the necessary Qt dependencies, you may need to install nas-1.8-7.fc4.i386.rpm, qt4-4.2.0-1.i386.rpm, and qt4-x11-4.2.0-1.i386.rpm.
3. Run rpm -Uvh vidalia-0.0.8-3.i386.rpm
