Hi,

Did you install Tor? It's not packaged with torrequest library, you should install it separately. If you use homebrew you can try brew install tor. Or sudo apt-get install tor on a debian based system.

Tor installed but still getting this error raise OSError("'%s' isn't available on your system. Maybe it's not in your PATH?" % tor_cmd)

First you need to install support libs. (like torrequests).

for WINDOWS OS you need to install TorBrowser from TorBrowser

1.Install it and copy PATH=C:\Users\nakul\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\tor.exe. (I installed it on desktop you copy your location)

  1. Open process.py file C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\stem\process.py

  2. Goto line no. 204(change 'tor' to '..\tor'.exe path)

Code Before: def launch_tor_with_config(config, tor_cmd = 'tor', completion_percent = 100, init_msg_handler = None, timeout = DEFAULT_INIT_TIMEOUT, take_ownership = False, close_output = True):

Code After Update: def launch_tor_with_config(config, tor_cmd = 'C:\Users\nakul\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\tor.exe', completion_percent = 100, init_msg_handler = None, timeout = DEFAULT_INIT_TIMEOUT, take_ownership = False, close_output = True):

It working for me, best of luck.

@Nakul8087 your answer is right except for windows the path is separated by \\ not \ tor_cmd = 'C:\\Users\\nakul\\Desktop\\Tor Browser\\Browser\\TorBrowser\\Tor\\tor.exe'

@Nakul8087 your answer is right except for windows the path is separated by \ not \ tor_cmd = 'C:\Users\nakul\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\tor.exe'

Windows ignores double backslashes. So backslash \ is correct and you should use that one, but double backslash \ \ works too.

@nakulmole how to make the changes in process.py file persist?
