# 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 run a setup script after each boot. The OnionShare GUI works in Tails 1.1 and later.
### Building for Tails
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
cd onionshare
sudo tails/build.sh
You only need to do that once each time you want to build a new verison 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, set an administrator password, and run this:
cd ~/Persistent/onionshare
sudo tails/setup.sh
After running that, OnionShare will appear in the menu under Applications > Internet.
