When building from a source tarball, first unpack the source:
- tar xzvf privoxy-3.0.28-stable-src.tar.gz
- cd privoxy-3.0.28-stable
+ tar xzvf privoxy-3.0.35-beta-src.tar.gz
+ cd privoxy-3.0.35-beta
To build the development version, you can get the source code by doing:
This will create a directory named <root-dir>/privoxy/, which will contain the
source tree.

well tested.
It is strongly recommended to not run Privoxy as root. You should configure/
Some binary packages may do this for you.

Using GNU make, you can have the first four steps automatically done for you by
just typing:
easily bypass the proxy (e.g. "Go There Anyway"), or alter their own
configurations, configure like this:
- ./configure --disable-toggle --disable-editor --disable-force
+ ./configure --disable-toggle --disable-editor --disable-force
Note that all of these options can also be disabled through the configuration
file.
Alternately, you can specify user and group on the make command line, but be
sure both already exist:
- make -s install USER=privoxy GROUP=privoxy
+ make -s install USER=privoxy GROUP=privoxy
The default installation path for make install is /usr/local. This may of
course be customized with the various ./configure path options. If you are
