<h2>Install Python</h2>
<p>Check if you already have an adequate version of Python installed by running <cite>python -V</cite>. Python v2.4 (v2.4.2 or greater), Python v2.5 or Python v2.6 will work. Python v3 does not work. If you don't have one of these versions of Python installed, then follow the instructions on <a href="http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.5/">the Python download page</a> to download and install Python v2.5.</p>
<p>(If you are on Windows, you now must manually install the pywin32 package from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/">the pywin32 site</a> before getting Tahoe-LAFS. Make sure to get the correct file for the version of Python you are using &mdash; e.g. ending in "py2.5.exe" for Python 2.5. If using 64-bit Windows, the file should have "win-amd64" in its name.)</p>
