'make test' runs the unit test suites. (This can take a long time on
slow computers. There are a lot of tests and some of them do a lot of

public-key cryptography.) If all tests pass, then you have all the
dependencies installed, either because they are installed into your system
or because they are installed into a local subdirectory because you ran
"make build-deps" (see "The Running-In-Place Way", above).
Executing the allmydata-tahoe script from the "bin" subdirectory will work
only if Tahoe itself is installed, either because it is installed into the
local subdirectory (as per "The Running-In-Place Way") or because it is
installed into your system (as per the other three ways of installing).
RUNNING:
If you installed one of the debian packages constructed by "make deb-*", or
installed "The Python Way", then it creates an 'allmydata-tahoe' executable,
usually in /usr/bin . Else, you can find allmydata-tahoe in ./instdir/bin/ .
Run the "allmydata-tahoe" executable.
If you installed "The Running-In-Place Way", then it is in your source tree,
in the "bin" subdirectory thereof. If you installed in one of the other
tree ways, then it has been copied into your operating system's files,
perhaps in "/usr/bin" on Unix, or in "C:\Python25\Scripts" on Window.
This tool is used to create, start, and stop nodes. Each node lives in a
separate base directory, inside of which you can add files to configure and
control the node. Nodes also read and write files within that directory.
