grid</a>), the Introducer will already be running, and you'll need to
create a node.</p>
- <p>To construct an introducer, choose a new base directory for it (the
- name of the directory is up to you). We'll call this directory $INTRODIR.
- Now run <cite>tahoe create-introducer $INTRODIR</cite>, which will create
- the directory for you. Now start the introducer by running <cite>tahoe
- start $INTRODIR</cite>. After it starts, there will be a file named

+ create-introducer .</cite>. Now start the introducer by running <cite>tahoe
+ start .</cite>. After it starts, there will be a file named
<cite>introducer.furl</cite> in that base directory. This file contains
the URL which the nodes must use in order to connect to this
introducer.</p>
- <p>To construct a node, choose a new empty base directory (again, the
- name of the directory is up to you), which we'll call $NODEDIR. Now run
- <cite>tahoe create-client $NODEDIR</cite>, which will create the
- directory. Acquire a copy of the <cite>introducer.furl</cite> from the
- introducer and put it into this directory, then run <cite>tahoe start
- $NODEDIR</cite>. After that, the node should be off and running. The
- first thing it will do is connect to the introducer and get itself
- connected to all other nodes on the grid.</p>
-
- <p>If you're only running a single node, the usual base directory for it
- is ~/.tahoe . The <cite>tahoe</cite> executable will use this as a
- default if you don't provide a $NODEDIR explicitly. So an easy way to set
- up your node is to run <cite>tahoe create-client</cite>, copy in the
- <cite>introducer.furl</cite>, then run <cite>tahoe start</cite>.</p>
