Tails is based on debian. How can one install and configure the different components on a running debian box to make all traffic passed through tor; like tails ? What are the firewall configuration ? Any help is most welcome.

Tails is based on Debian so, while all of Debian is available in Tails the converse is not the case. Many Tails developments, particularly the more restrictive/security-orientated ones, are unsuitable and/or unnecessary for upstream. To understand the structure of Tails and how it deviates from Debian, you might like to browse the "master" Git tree.
