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.
For full documentation, please see http://tahoe-lafs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ .
INSTALLING
There are three ways to install Tahoe-LAFS.
using OS packages
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.
via pip
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
from source
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.gitcd tahoe-lafsvirtualenv --python=python2.7 venvvenv/bin/pip install --upgrade setuptoolsvenv/bin/pip install --editable .venv/bin/tahoe --version
To run the unit test suite:
tox
You can pass arguments to trial with an environment variable. For example, you can run the test suite on multiple cores to speed it up:
TAHOE_LAFS_TRIAL_ARGS="-j4" 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.
