grid</a>), the Introducer will already be running, and you'll need to
create a node.</p>
<p>To construct an introducer, choose a new base directory for it (the
name of the directory is up to you). We'll call this directory $INTRODIR.
Now run <cite>tahoe create-introducer $INTRODIR</cite>, which will create
the directory for you. Now start the introducer by running <cite>tahoe
start $INTRODIR</cite>. After it starts, there will be a file named
<p>To construct an introducer, create a new base directory for it (the name
of the directory is up to you), cd into it, and run <cite>tahoe
create-introducer .</cite>. Now start the introducer by running <cite>tahoe
start .</cite>. After it starts, there will be a file named
<cite>introducer.furl</cite> in that base directory. This file contains
the URL which the nodes must use in order to connect to this
introducer.</p>
<p>To construct a node, choose a new empty base directory (again, the
name of the directory is up to you), which we'll call $NODEDIR. Now run
<cite>tahoe create-client $NODEDIR</cite>, which will create the
directory. Acquire a copy of the <cite>introducer.furl</cite> from the
introducer and put it into this directory, then run <cite>tahoe start
$NODEDIR</cite>. After that, the node should be off and running. The
first thing it will do is connect to the introducer and get itself
connected to all other nodes on the grid.</p>
<p>If you're only running a single node, the usual base directory for it
is ~/.tahoe . The <cite>tahoe</cite> executable will use this as a
default if you don't provide a $NODEDIR explicitly. So an easy way to set
up your node is to run <cite>tahoe create-client</cite>, copy in the
<cite>introducer.furl</cite>, then run <cite>tahoe start</cite>.</p>
<p>To construct a node run <cite>tahoe create-client</cite>, which will
create <cite>~/.tahoe</cite> to be the node's base directory. Acquire a copy
of the <cite>introducer.furl</cite> from the introducer and put it into this
directory, then run <cite>tahoe start</cite>. After that, the node should be
off and running. The first thing it will do is connect to the introducer and
get itself connected to all other nodes on the grid.</p>
