How to use tor on Fedora

edit

I just installed tor using "sudo dnf install tor", but when I try to run it using either dnf install tor or sudo dnf install tor, they both fail. The error message is:

(On some Unix systems, anybody who can list a socket can connect to it, so Tor is being careful.)

I checked /run/tor and it existed and belonged to root. I have two questions, first how to connect to the Tor network using this tor application and second, are there any other free privacy software to use on Fedora to protect privacy and evade blockage?
