Tahoe-LAFS

Tahoe-LAFS is a Free and Open decentralized cloud storage system. It distributes your data across multiple servers. Even if some of the servers fail or are taken over by an attacker, the entire file store continues to function correctly, preserving your privacy and security.

INSTALLING

Pre-packaged versions are available for several operating systems:

  • Debian and Ubuntu users can apt-get install tahoe-lafs
  • NixOS, NetBSD (pkgsrc), ArchLinux, Slackware, and Gentoo have packages available, see OSPackages for details
  • Mac and Windows installers are in development.

If you don't use an OS package, you'll need Python 2.7 and pip. You may also need a C compiler, and the development headers for python, libffi, and OpenSSL. On a Debian-like system, use apt-get install build-essential python-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev python-virtualenv. On Windows, see WindowsInstall.

Then, to install the most recent release, just run:

  • pip install tahoe-lafs

To install from source (either so you can hack on it, or just to run pre-release code), you should create a virtualenv and install into that:

To run the unit test suite:

  • tox

For more details, see the docs directory.

Once tahoe --version works, see docs/running.rst to learn how to set up your first Tahoe-LAFS node.
