[Solved] Tor Error

Just got tor installed from the wiki. I run 'tor' and i get

[notice] Tor v0.2.5.12 (git-whateverthisis) running on linux with Libevent 2.0.22-stable, openSSL 1.0.2a and Zlib 1.2.7

[notice] Read config file "/etc/tor/torrc"

[notice] Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050

[warn] var/lib/tor is not owned by this user (text, 1001) but by tor (43). Perhaps you are running Tor as the wrong user?

[warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Couldn't access/create private data directory "/var/lib/tor"

[err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.

Sorry if I formatted this wrong. I can see the problems here but I have no idea how to fix.
