Another option is to use chutney to autoconfigure a test tor network on your local machine. But it can be hard to use and hard to work out what's broken if it doesn't work. https://gitweb.torproject.org/chutney.git/tree/README <https://gitweb.torproject.org/chutney.git/tree/README> >> Another question is: what is the minimum >> number of required directory authorities for a private Tor network?

(Even numbers are avoided because they run the risk of consensus ties: half vote one way, half vote another, and there is no majority consensus about certain information, or the entire network state.)
