These are advanced installation instructions for running Tor in a command line. The recommended way to use Tor is to simply download the Tor Browser and you are done.
Even though Tor Browser comes with a regular Tor, it will only run as long as you keep Tor Browser open. The following instructions will set up Tor without graphical interface or a browser. Many people prefer this over TBB when they host onion services or relay traffic for other Tor users.

Step Three: Configure your application to use Tor
To use SOCKS directly (for instant messaging, Jabber, IRC, etc), you can point your application directly at Tor (localhost port 9050), but see this FAQ entry for why this may be dangerous. For applications that support neither SOCKS nor HTTP, take a look at socat.
For information on how to Torify other applications, check out the Torify HOWTO.
If you have a personal firewall that limits your computer's ability to connect to itself, be sure to allow connections from your local applications to local port 9050. If your firewall blocks outgoing connections, punch a hole so it can connect to at least TCP ports 80 and 443, and then see this FAQ entry.
If it's still not working, look at this FAQ entry for hints.
Once it's working, learn more about what Tor does and does not offer.
