If you download it, Extract zip file in /home/$USER/.
Run install.sh file. To run it open terminal and write command below:
$bash install.sh
This bash file will automatically install needed python library, Tor, TorSocks, Obfs4proxy and Privoxy
(For super-new users: $ is not part of command)
pyTorXy install successfully. Now leave the directory and use pyTorXy easily with shortcut in applications.

At first you need to know how to get and add tor bridge or obsf4 transport.
To get bridge send an email to [email protected]. No subject needed, Just write get bridge for bridge and get transport obfs4 to get obfs4 from torproject. Copy full line bridge or obsf4 e.g.:
for obfs4:
obfs4 X.X.X.X:PORT abcdefghijklmn cert=opqrstuvwxyz iat-mode=0
for bridges:
X.X.X.X:PORT abcdefghijklmn
Now open application, Go to Tor Config -> Add/Remove Bridge. Paste obfs4 in "Obfs4" tab and bridge in "Bridge" tab and Add them.
In this window you can see list of bridges and obfs4 transports which can selected to remove.
In application, Go to Tor Config -> Tor Configuaration. In this window you can config tor port (from = 1000 to 65535), Tor Exit Node and Bridge. you can select you prefer to use bridge/obfs4 or not.
In Application, Go to Privoxy Config -> Privoxy Configuration. You can select port of privoxy easily (from = 1000 to 65535).
Tor make socks5 proxy which could use in some applications. HTTP proxy provided by Privoxy could proxy whole device (read it from here or here) or applications which could use http proxy. Both proxy addresses are 127.0.0.1. Port of proxies are as you define in config.
