Installing carml¶

Note (for PyPI or development installs) you’ll need to install libffi and liblzma development libraries. How to do this on various architectures (please send missing ones!):

Debian + Ubuntu: apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-virtualenv libffi-dev liblzma-dev.

PyPI¶

Once you have libraries installed as above, you should be able to do a simple pip install carml. It’s also possible to point to the .whl file (e.g. after signature verification).

It is recommended to use virtualenv to try without affecting system packages:

virtualenv venv
. ./venv/bin/activate
pip install carml

Development/Source¶

From a fresh clone (git clone https://github.com/meejah/carml.git) type make venv. Then activate your new virtualenv with source ./venv/bin/activate and then pip install --editable . which should install all the dependencies (listed in requirements.txt).

To do this and use peep, you need pip version 6.1.1. So, you you can try something like this (from the root of a fresh clone):

virtualenv venv
. ./venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools  # esp. for Debian
pip install --editable .

Dependencies:

txtorcon

humanize

ansicolors

PyOpenSSL

txsocksx

backports.lzma

Tor Setup¶

For Tor setup, make sure you have at least the following in /etc/tor/torrc:

CookieAuthentication 1
CookieAuthFileGroupReadable 1
ControlPort 9051
# corresponding carml option: "--connect tcp:127.0.0.1:9051"

Or, if you prefer Unix sockets (recommended):

CookieAuthentication 1
ControlSocketsGroupWritable 1
ControlSocket /var/run/tor/control
# corresponding carml option: "--connect unix:/var/run/tor/control"

The port or unix-socket can obviously be whatever; the above are Tor’s defaults on Debian. The Tor Browser Bundle defaults to using 9151 for the control socket (and DOES use cookie authentication by default).

On Debian/Ubuntu you need to be part of the debian-tor group. To check, type groups and verify debian-tor is on the list. If not, add yourself (as root, do):

# usermod username --append --groups debian-tor

If you changed Tor’s configuration, don’t forget to tell it (as root):

# service tor reload
