Install Tor (not the Tor Browser) from the package repository of your particular distribution. If you're using Debian or Ubuntu then you can download the latest version of Tor from the Tor Project's repository (link below). Once Tor is installed you'll be able to use torsocks (it's already bundled with Tor) to connect your Gemini client to a Gemini Tor capsule. I have only tested the Lagrange-1.17.6-x86_64.AppImage and the Kristall-nightly-linux-x86_64.AppImage, but in theory you should be able to connect any GNU/Linux Gemini client using this method. For example if you are using the Lagrange AppImage, then to connect the client to the Tor network you would type the command below in a terminal:
torsocks Lagrange-1.17.6-x86_64.AppImage
Now you should be able to connect to a Gemini capsule with a .onion address.
Download and install the Tor Browser for Windows (link below), Proxychains for Windows (link below) and the Lagrange client for Windows (link below). Change the localhost port in the 'proxychains.conf' file from 1080 to 9150. Start the Tor Browser, connect to the Tor network and then minimize the browser. Next, open a Windows Command Prompt and type the command:
proxychains lagrange.exe
Now you should be able to connect to a Gemini capsule with a .onion address.
