| <h3 id="ricochetTor" class="anchor"><a href="#ricochetTor"><i class="fas fa-link anchor-icon"></i></a> Updating the Tor binary included with Ricochet</h3> | ||||
|  | ||||
| Currently there are no known vulnerabilities with Ricochet. The software is safe to use as long as you update the included Tor binary to the latest version. | ||||
|  | ||||
| <ol class="long-string-list"> | ||||
|   <li>Download the <a href="/browsers/#browser"><i class="fas fa-link"></i> Tor Browser</a>.</li> | ||||
|   <li>Run the Tor Browser installer or extract package for your platform. Windows (.exe), MacOSX (.dmg) and Linux (.tar.bz2).</li> | ||||
|   <li>Copy the Tor binary or create a symbolic link to it: </li> | ||||
|   <br> | ||||
|   <ul> | ||||
|       <li><strong>Windows: </strong>Copy the Tor binary included with the Tor Browser and overwrite the old one included with Ricochet.</li> | ||||
|       <ul> | ||||
|           <li>Tor Browser binary: <code>%HOMEPATH%\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\tor.exe</code></li> | ||||
|           <li>Ricochet's included binary: <code>%HOMEPATH%\Desktop\Ricochet\tor.exe</code></li> | ||||
|       </ul> | ||||
|       <br> | ||||
|       <li><strong>MacOSX: </strong>Assuming you copied the <code>Tor Browser.app</code> and <code>Ricochet.app</code> from their respective .dmg install media to <code>/Applications</code>: <br> | ||||
|           Create a symbolic link to the Tor binary in Terminal. Ricochet will continue to use the up to date version of the Tor binary when you update the Tor Browser Bundle.</li> | ||||
|       <ul> | ||||
|           <li><code>rm ~/Applications/Ricochet.app/Contents/MacOS/tor <br> | ||||
|                     ln -s ~/Applications/Tor\ Browser.app/Contents/Resources/TorBrowser/Tor/tor \ <br> | ||||
|                           ~/Applications/Ricochet.app/Contents/MacOS/tor</code> | ||||
|           </li> | ||||
|       </ul> | ||||
|       <br> | ||||
|       <li><strong>Linux: </strong>Assuming you extracted the Tor Browser Bundle and Ricochet tarball to your home directory:</li> | ||||
|       <ul> | ||||
|           <li><code>rm ~/ricochet/tor <br> | ||||
|                     ln -s ~/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/tor ~/ricochet/tor</code> | ||||
|           </li> | ||||
