Previously this looked at sys.platform to decide what dependencies to include. The problem with that approach is that wheels built on a unix box won't work on windows (and vice versa), when the (pure-python) Tahoe wheels aren't supposed to be platform-dependent. setup.py provides a syntax to express this properly, so wheels created on either platform will include the pypiwin32 dependency in the metadata, but marked as only being relevant when installing on a win32 platform. closes ticket:2763 |

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
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.gitcd tahoe-lafsvirtualenv venvvenv/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.
