== GetTor Usage ==
Users can communicate with !GetTor robot by sending messages via email.
Currently, the best known !GetTor email address is {{{gettor@torproject.org}}}.
This should be the most current stable !GetTor robot as it is operated by
the Tor Project.
To ask for Tor Browser, a user should send an email to !GetTor robot with
one of the following options in the message body:
'''windows''': If the user needs Tor Browser for Windows.
\\
'''linux''': If the user needs Tor Browser for Linux.
\\
'''osx''': If the user needs Tor Browser for Mac OSX.
\\
Options are case insensitive. If a user select two or more options, only
the first one will be considered. After the user sends a valid option,
!GetTor robot will reply with links to download Tor Browser from popular
cloud services. For now, the only cloud service supported is Dropbox. A
sample reply from !GetTor robot should look like this:
{{{
Thank you for your request for windows-en.

If a user sends something different from the options mentioned before,
!GetTor robot will reply with a help message explaining how to interact
with it. A sample help message should look like this:
{{{
Hello, this is the 'GetTor' robot.
Thank you for your request. I am here to help you download the latest
Tor Browser Bundle.
Please reply to this message with one of the options below:
windows
linux
osx
And I will send you the download instructions quickly.
Tip: Just send a blank reply to this message if you are not sure.
}}}
Once the files have been downloaded users should verify the integrity of
Tor Browser by following the instructions listed in the
[https://www.torproject.org/docs/verifying-signatures.html.en signature verification guide].
After verifying that the downloaded file is valid,
users should follow the
[https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en#macosx install instructions]
to start using Tor Browser.
A user that can't reach the Tor network after the install process should
consider using [https://bridges.torproject.org bridges] or
[https://www.torproject.org/docs/pluggable-transports.html.en pluggable transports].
This guide will be provided by the !GetTor robot in the future.
