Also it avoids the failure mode where a user forgets to activate the virtualenv, types the recommended "pip install" command, and installs stuff directly to their system instead of safely confined inside the virtualenv.

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
|
|
`<docs/windows.rst>`_.
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
* ``git clone https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs.git``
|
|
* ``cd tahoe-lafs``
|
|
* ``virtualenv venv``
|
|
* ``venv/bin/pip install --editable .``
|
|
* ``venv/bin/tahoe --version``
|
|
|
|
To run the unit test suite:
|
|
|
|
* ``tox``
|
|
|
|
For more detailed instructions, read `<docs/INSTALL.rst>`_ .
|
|
|
|
Once ``tahoe --version`` works, see `<docs/running.rst>`_ to learn how to set
|
|
up your first Tahoe-LAFS node.
