carburetor 3.10

GTK frontend for Tractor

Carburetor

This is a graphical settings app for tractor which is a package uses Python stem library to provide a connection through the onion proxy and sets up proxy in user session, so you don't have to mess up with TOR on your system anymore.

Install

On Ubuntu based distros, make sure that you have software-properties-common package installed an then do as following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tractor-team/tractor
sudo apt update
sudo apt install carburetor

If you are using a distro other than Ubuntu, please check if the release name in the relevant file located in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ is a supported one (e.g. jammy).

On Debian systems you may use up to the hirsute channel binaries, since it doesn't support the new compression algorithm. May be I try to setup a CI/CD pipeline for releasing Debian .debs.

For othe distros, the recommended method is by using Python package index. However anyone is welcome in contributing native package build recepies for their distribution.

Run

you can run carburetor by command line or through your desktop environment.
