<h1>About Tahoe</h1>
|
|
<p>Welcome to the Tahoe project, a secure, decentralized, fault-tolerant filesystem.</p>
|
|
<p>See <a href="about.html">the about page</a> for more information.

<h1>How To Install Tahoe</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is the default procedure to install from source. It has been verified to work on Windows, Cygwin, Mac, Linux, and Solaris. It's likely to work on other platforms. If you encounter problems following this procedure, or for more details such as platform-specific instructions, please see <a href="install-details.html">install-details.html</a>.

<h2>Satisfy the Dependencies</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Prior to installing Tahoe the following must be installed:
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/">g++</a> >= v3.3 -- the Cygwin version of gcc/g++ works for Cygwin and for Windows</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="http://gnu.org/software/make/">GNU make</a></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="http://python.org">Python</a> >= v2.4.2 including development headers i.e. "Python.h"</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="http://openssl.org">OpenSSL</a> >= v0.9.7, including development headers</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Get the Source Code</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Tarballs of the source code are available at:
|
|
<pre><a href="http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/tarballs/">http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/tarballs/</a></pre></p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Build</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Unpack the tarball and cd into the top-level directory.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Run <cite>make check-deps</cite> which verifies that all of the dependencies listed above are installed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Run <cite>make</cite> to build Tahoe and some included libraries and install the <cite>tahoe</cite> executable into a subdirectory of the current directory named <cite>bin</cite>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Run <cite>make test</cite> to verify that it built correctly and passes all tests.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Run <cite>bin/tahoe --version</cite> to verify that the executable tool runs and prints out the right version number (the "allmydata" version number is the version number of the Tahoe package). This executable can configure and launch your node.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Run</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Now you have the Tahoe source code installed and are ready to use it to form a decentralized filesystem. See <a href="running.html">running.html</a> for instructions.</p>
