https://tecadmin.net/install-tor-browser-in-centos-rhel-and-fedora/

When I ran it, I got the following error message from yum:

“http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/rpm/el/6/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 – “The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found”
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: Tor. Please verify its path and try again”

I went to http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org and found no “xml” subdirectory there. I wasn’t sure what the subdirectory should be out of the many subfolders there on the site.

Is it possible to get the correct URL for the repo to put into the file?

Thanks
