I want to use Tor as a proxy for HTTP-requests with curl or wget on a CentOS Machine. I used this How-to and I looked for some answers on stackexchange and stackoverflow. https://medium.com/the-sysadmin/using-tor-for-your-shell-script-fee9d8bdef5c#.9ixz30jbn
If I typing into my shell 'tor' I get this:
Aug 31 21:01:29.871 [notice] Tor v0.2.8.6 running on Linux with Libevent 2.0.22-stable, OpenSSL 1.0.2h and Zlib 1.2.8.

Where is my error, or wich command is the right?
You've made no mistake. That output indicates that Tor launched, connected to the network and is running. You'll probably want to figure out how to daemonize it, or run it in the background (nohup tor &
).
The line Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050
tells you that it's SOCKS (proxy) port is listening on port 9050. This is the port you want applications like curl or wget to proxy through.
As shown in the article you linked, you just need to run curl using Tor's SOCKS port.
curl -s --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:9050 http://www.showmyip.gr
