Instruction Verify the files are the real ones. Go to terminal of where you saved them and run:
sha512sum *If the sums mismatch, then delete those files and try to find a more reliable link. If the sums match -> Best is to copy those files onto a USB and then reboot Tails. Do NOT start Tor Browser, starting Tor Connection Assistant and connecting is fine. Do NOT have Tor Browser running while you are installing the script. It is recommended to take a look at the code to understand what it is doing it is really simple and well commented. The most important piece of information you should know is that it will add 2 new firewall rules to open TCP ports for I2Pd to work correctly. (No UDP ports opened, slower but more secure in the sense of the security model of Tails)
Important #
If you want to go back to normal web browsing through Tor please go through each change individually and revert it, then disable the i2pd service with sudo service i2pd stop (or restart if you want to browse other i2p websites). TBB is not configured for cross-I2P-Tor-Clearnet browsing so make sure to restart/revert changes and restart browser each time you want to visit different website. It might be a pain but it is for your own security.
