Installing Tahoe-LAFS
|
|
*********************
|
|
|
|
`Tahoe-LAFS`_ is a secure, decentralized, and fault-tolerant storage system.
|
|
To see an overview of the architecture and security properties, see :doc:`Welcome to Tahoe LAFS! <../about-tahoe>`
|
|
|
|
Tahoe-LAFS can be installed and used on any of the following operating systems.
|
|
|
|
.. _Tahoe-LAFS: https://tahoe-lafs.org
|
|
|
|
Microsoft Windows
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
To install Tahoe-LAFS on Windows:
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure you have Powershell installed. See `PowerShell installation <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-core-on-windows?view=powershell-7.1>`_.
|
|
|
|
2. Install the latest version of Python 3. Download the .exe file at the `python website <https://www.python.org/downloads/>`_.
|
|
|
|
3. Open the installer by double-clicking it. Select the **Add Python to PATH** check-box, then click **Install Now**.
|
|
|
|
4. Start PowerShell and enter the following command to verify python installation::
|
|
|
|
python --version
|
|
|
|
5. Enter the following command to install Tahoe-LAFS::
|
|
|
|
pip install tahoe-lafs
|
|
|
|
6. Verify installation by checking for the version::
|
|
|
|
tahoe --version
|
|
|
|
If you want to hack on Tahoe's source code, you can install Tahoe in a ``virtualenv`` on your Windows Machine. To learn more, see :doc:`install-on-windows`.
|
|
|
|
Linux, BSD, or MacOS
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Tahoe-LAFS can be installed on MacOS, many Linux and BSD distributions. If you are using Ubuntu or Debian, run the following command to install Tahoe-LAFS::
|
|
|
|
apt-get install tahoe-lafs
|
|
|
|
If you are working on MacOS or a Linux distribution which does not have Tahoe-LAFS packages, you can build it yourself:
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure the following are installed:
|
|
|
|
* **Python 3's latest version**: Check for the version by running ``python --version``.
|
|
* **pip**: Most python installations already include `pip`. However, if your installation does not, see `pip installation <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/>`_.
|
|
|
|
2. Install Tahoe-LAFS using pip::
|
|
|
|
pip install tahoe-lafs
|
|
|
|
3. Verify installation by checking for the version::
|
|
|
|
tahoe --version
|
|
|
|
If you are looking to hack on the source code or run pre-release code, we recommend you install Tahoe-LAFS on a `virtualenv` instance. To learn more, see :doc:`install-on-linux`.
