-# Running OnionShare in Tails
-
-Until OnionShare gets included in Debian, it will be annoying to install it in Tails so that it persists reboots. For now, you'll need to run a build script the first time, and then install it separately each time you boot. These instructions make it pretty simple.
-
-### Building for Tails the first time
-
-Start by booting to Tails. Mount your persistent volume and set an administrator password. Once you login and connect to the Tor network, open a terminal and type:
-
-    cd ~/Persistent
-    git clone https://github.com/micahflee/onionshare.git
-    sudo onionshare/tails/install_in_persistent_volume.sh
-
-You only need to do that once each time you want to build a new version of OnionShare.
-
-### Installing in Tails
-
-In order to actually use it though, each time you boot Tails you'll need to enable your persistent volume and set an administrator password. Then open your Persistent folder and double-click on `Install OnionShare`. Type your temporary administrator password, and then OnionShare will get installed.
-
-OnionShare will appear in the menu under Applications > Internet > OnionShare.
