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.
