I'm using the TorRequest library (https://github.com/erdiaker/torrequest) on Linux and it works fine, but I also need to run this script on Windows as well. In my distro, I installed only the tor package and it worked, I did not need the TorBrowser.

So that's my question. If I install TorBrowser on Windows, will my script work? Does it install together something like the "tor" package I mentioned that allows you to use the Tor network without having to use TorBrowser?

I'm not a Windows user, so the question may sound silly.

This looks like it should work fine, as long as you give it the right Control and SOCKS ports when you create the TorRequests instance, I.E.

 request = TorRequest(proxy_port = 9150, ctrl_port=9151)

Since it's using stem and you can specify alternative ports, this should work fine using Tor Browser without requiring a stand-alone tor.exe for it to launch.
