If you install Tails to a USB stick, you will need to reboot your Mac in order to use it.ġ0.6 and 10.7 Mac Users: Manual Update Required
#OS X LION 32 BIT MAC OS#
You can run Tails in a virtual machine such as VirtualBox, or you can manually install it to a USB disk from the Mac OS Terminal. If your hardware is not 64 bit capable or your system won't run Tor Browser 4.5, you should still be able to use Tails, which contains the Tor Browser.
However, we strongly encourage you to upgrade to a newer version of Mac OS even so, as you are not receiving security updates. As long as you do not have those processors, your Mac should be able to run the 64 bit Tor Browser 4.5 just fine. According to Apple's support website, only two CPU models (the Intel Core Solo and the Intel Core Duo) were released that can not run 64 bit code. Not all 10.6 Mac OS users are on 32 bit systems.
This means that 32 bit Mac users should begin investigating their options now. The 4.5 release series will become stable in mid-April of 2015. When the 4.5 release stabilizes, all support for 32 bit Macs will end. We will continue releasing 32 bit versions of the 4.0 series until the 4.5 series is declared stable. This transition will happen in phases: First, the upcoming 4.5-alpha series will only be available as 64 bit builds. Second, 64 bit software has improved security properties by way of improved address space layout randomization (ASLR), which makes exploitation more difficult. The only remaining 32 bit Mac users are on OSX 10.6, which Apple ended support for in February 2014. First, Apple itself no longer supports 32 bit Macs. We are planning to discontinue support for 32 bit Macs for Tor Browser. Updated on March 31, 2015: Clarify 4.5 release timeframe and manual update section
