Tor Name Not Recognized In Stem

I am trying to follow the 'to russia with love' tutorial (https://stem.torproject.org/tutorials/to_russia_with_love.html) but I am getting this error: [1mStarting Tor: [0m Tracebac

Solution 1:

That means Stem doesn't know where the tor executable is located. Your PATH tells applications like Stem where to look for executables and tor isn't located in any of those locations.

You have a couple options...

a. Tell Stem explicitly where tor is located...

stem.process.launch_tor_with_config(tor_cmd='C:\path\to\tor', ...)

b. Change your path to include tor.
