| First install Debian. We suggest setting up encrypted LVM during installation and reducing attack surface by starting with a minimal command line installation. Next install xinit and add mate-core or gnome-core. Than login and use 'startx' to launch your GUI of choice. |
| After installing debian install curl and use this command to fetch the automated install script |
sudo apt install curl
curl --tlsv1.3 --output whonix-xfce-installer-cli --url https://www.whonix.org/dist-installer-cli |
| Now that we're done with curl let's get rid of it. |
sudo apt purge curl |
| Now give the script executable permissions using the following command |
chmod u+x whonix-xfce-installer-cli |
| Finally let's begin the installation, make sure you upgraded Debian first |
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
./whonix-xfce-installer-cli |
| This might take a minute. When it's done start VirtualBox and start your whonix-gateway and whonix-workstation. update and upgrade them. Set Tor Browser to the safest security setting. That's it! You're ready to go. We suggest using 'Live Mode' unless you are upgrading or installing new software. |
| Use the following command on your host operating system (Debian) to suppress the notification center that pops up on the right each time you launch Whonix. |
